    Currently have a 2.65" front leveling kit on my 21 OR, consisting of 2" RC strut spacer & 5100s set at #2 circlip. Rear setup is deaver springs & 5100s. Running 265/75/16s on 16" rims. Ain't gonna go any taller. Is it necessary to install new UCAs? Thinking of JBAs. Appreciate your suggestions.

    That 2" strut spacer puts the upper ball joint in a bind at full droop. Get rid of the strut spacer and adjust the 5100s to the highest circlip setting instead.
