    I have been doing research and trying to get more opinions on an old man emu set up and need for UCA.

    So I have a 2006 dcsb, 4wd. Offroad rear bumper (swing outs), tools in the bed, and a topper. So for the rear I got Dakar springs and figure with the weight should be around 2.5" rear lift.

    For the front I have rci steel skid and sliders. Eventually I want to get an arb bumper.

    I have new 5100s set at 0 and used 885x (believe 30-40k miles) and was hoping to get 1.5-1.75" of lift when I get the front bumper.

    Wondering if the higher lift in the rear and the weight and future weight of the truck I'll be able to get it aligned properly. It seems to be hit or miss with these trucks and lifting and aligning.

    If you're eventually going for the ARB bumper get the 886 springs, they compensate for the extra 150lbs. You will want new UCA's to get your alignment right.
