    Looking for recommendations. How many people changed their UCA’s when you lifted your truck. I went with a 2-1 RC lift without changing the UCA’s. The truck seems to be a little twitchy at highway speed, nothing too bad but it’s there. If you changed your UCA’s after you lifted, did it help and which ones does everyone like. Thanks in advance.

    Slow down. Did you get an alignment? If so, post your alignment sheet.

    I ran a Wescott lift on my TRD Pro for about a year and a half before swapping the suspension out entirely, it's a similar lift amount of about 2" front (TRD Pro coilover 1" plus 1" pre-load collar) and 1" rear (block spacer) with no issues of driveability. So similar lift proportions and suspension geometry for the IFS parts. I'll second what the comment before me said and recommend posting an alignment sheet the shop should have given you, my shop got me dialed in well and I had no issues.

    I only went with new UCAs after changing out to coilovers specifically matched to my front lift height that would have caused binding issues with the UCAs hitting the coilovers and to future mod my truck to have adjustability to enable 33s later if I want without a bunch of further cutting / trimming or alignment hassles. I wanted adjustable UCAs but didn't like what I was reading about SPCs, so I went with Dobinson adjustable UCAs. These give a lot of adjustment but you definitely do need a specialized shop with experience to get them configured correctly to get the right milage from them to make the price worth it.

    Yes to alignment, camber is low. I was told it was due to my UCA’s
