    Hey y'all,
    I recent bought a OME 2.5" suspension lift with heavy duty leaf springs to help support my canopy and RTT.
    I'm looking to get some of y'all's opinions. My lift came with front and rear struts, front springs and rear leaf springs. It should give about a 2.5" lift. I'm conflicted on if I should get some UCAs and break line extensions
    I don't plan on doing any super crazy off roading but still don't want to cause any serious issues down the road due to improper gear.
    I know y'all are wicked smaht so just looking for some insight.

    More research will help you. Brake lines will not be necessary. UCAs will give better down travel and alignment but not necessary either.

    What tire size you gonna run? You might have to get UCAs.

    None so far
    I would definitely recommend getting a high castor UCA. SPC or JBA would be my choices. I am running KINGs and JBAs on my 4runner. We are not planning on doing anything yet to our TRD Pro Taco. I am getting about 4.3 degrees of castor. Feels solid at high speeds on the highway.

    I ran a 3" lift on the 2016 DCSB I had, didn't go with the UCA's but that was on the table to be added before it was totaled. The alignment they done on the truck produced a very noticeable lean in the tires and made for a very sensitive driving truck
