    Just recently I ordered front adjustable coil over kit with bilstein 5100 with of course the back shocks and 1.5" block and a add a leaf. I came across a problem with my UCA rubbing the coil over springs and was wondering if someone could pitch a few words of advice to help me out to figure out how the resolve my rubbing problem. Thanks guys

    What coils are you using? And what setting are the shocks at? Pics would make this easier to diagnose.

    Stock UCA? Stock coils? How much did you lift it?

    May have to lower it or add aftermarket UCAs to the mix.

    i have my adjustment setting at 2.25" But ill be sure to post some pictures. I was also wondering if by just buying aftermarket UCA's like maybe camburg upper arms would do the trick?

    At 2.25 it's gona be a stift ride. Alignment might suffer as well. I think I see UCAS in your future.

    For my needs I went with LR uca's. It's a DD with light off-road use for hunting or shooting. I have read that camburg is a good product and the bling factor is top notch. There are tons of reviews on TW or Tora on camburg uca's. Glwb

    Still need pics of UCA rubbing. I have 2.25" of lift on 5100's and 885 coils. No rubbing issues with stock uca's and caster set at 2.4.

    Sounds like you're doing the 5100's at 2.25 plus the toytec springs?

    Recommended not to go higher than .85 on the billies with springs. Will still net ~2.5 with this combo. Doing both may be putting you at ~4 inches of front lift and thats too much for stock UCAs.


    Yesterday I installed the wheelers springs (toytec and wheelers are both rebranded eibach 112-620's I think, so the same springs) with 5100's at .85 and right now its just over 3", waiting for it to settle a bit.
