    UCAs are not a must. I’m not sure where this ideology came from, but the factory UCAs with the 5100s on 888s is far from having bad angles. I’m very happy with this setup in the front.

    I’m thinking of doing the same set up, considering doing the UCAs just as a precaution along with the ECGS bushing everybody talks about...would rather do it all at once to prevent any issues and have piece of mind.

    Considering the old man emu shocks instead also, gonna have to talk to Marie at headstrong and see what she says

    Interested to see what everybody else has to say on this, if you do the lift let us know what you think and how it goes
