    Hey Guys!

    I've been reading up on all the different lift options for some time now and I think I'm ready to buy but wanted to have this double checked since many of you have much more experience with lifts than I do.

    While I'm no stranger to driving trails for camping, fishing or even just for fun... I wouldn't say I'm into hardcore wheeling.

    My plans are:

    5100s front and back
    885 coils
    1.5" progressive AAL
    Camburg BJ UCAs

    This is what I had in mind if I go through wheelers. If I went through Headstrong instead then I might tweak a couple items as I don't think they carry each of those items (BJ UCA and progressive AAL).

    I was hoping for some advice on a couple of details though...

    1) from my reading I can expect around 2.5" lift in the front. Will the Camburg UCAs be able to hit the 2.5 -3 degree caster mark with that lift? I know they can get "factory specs" but also know factory caster is not ideal post lift.

    2) I've read that removing the factory overload when adding the progressive AAL reduces towing or maybe hauling capacity. Is that still the case if I'm also installing ride right airbags (on shelf in the garage :thumbsup:). If it would still reduce capacity then is there any cons to leaving the factory overload in aside from less flex in the rear end? And would the standard rear Bilsteins (24-186728) be a good match for either of those cases?

    Other than that I know some will probably say LR UCAs are cheaper and I do know that. My concern is with the alignment shops not being familiar with them. Here in Canada there is no such thing as "lifetime alignment" so if I end up at multiple shops to get the LR UCAs aligned it would actually end up costing more than getting it done right the first time with Camburgs.

    As always thanks for the help! I know a lot of you are experienced with this so wanted a little input before I pull the trigger.
