    Lowered down to 2.5 and you guys were right psi was 44, lowered to 35. That has helped a ton, still looking to replace the rear shocks and I think this will put me where I expected to be. Thank you all!

    Yes
    I'm convinced you need to change your flux capacitor, revalve your knooter valve and upgrade your blinker fluid...welcome to TW where opinions matter more than facts :thumbsup:

    Good for you! And if you leave it at 2.5" then you can run the stock UCA's no problem.

    I would anyway..

    Anything above 2" of lift to be safe IMO. Last thing you want is to break a stock ball joint UCA on a trail or anywhere, this last weekend that happened to a guy in our group on the trail.. Not a fun repair when your 2 hours from the nearest town. Spend the money now it will be worth it in the long run. Buy once cry once

    Yeah I can see that. But he's on a budget. And I somehow don't think he'll be at the trail running stages yet. I changed mine but for the purpose of alignment you're ok up to 2.5".

    Did dropping down to 2.5 soften up the front? Is it still harsh hitting bumps? Could you post pics of your truck sitting at 2.5? Sorry for all the questions bro

    no worries at all man, that's what these forums are for!
    my ride has gotten considerably better for ride quality - but i have but in Toytec BOSS coilovers in since then and Total Chaos UCA.
    but lowering down to 23" from center of hub to bottom of fender helped the most...
    also when i first got my tires Discount had inflated them to 45#... which i didn't check until some ppl on here asked, lowering that down to 35# did the trick.

    Yeah they ride great, waiting on some of these trails to open up to really test them out. I had torn up the shocks in the ultimate and decided for just a little extra money I could just get the boss, the are way easier to adjust too.
