    Just installed New 8112s with Dirt King UCA.
    BAD NEWS - The reservoir hose gets tagged by the squared edge on the arms with just the littlest amount of wheel up travel.

    Truck is aligned but it looks but looks like the tolerances on these might be a little too tight.

    I really liked the look and beefiness of the Square Tubed setup though

    Ouch, that sucks. I don't really see a solution for that either short of changing uppers or changing coilovers. I'd change uppers personally.

    Bummer, I particularly dislike rework especially when its not my fault.

    Yeah already picked up some Total Chaos UCAs that I have seen others running on this shock setup with success. I definitely want to keep the shocks.

    Oh well. New...USED Dirt Kings for sale now. hahaha
