6" lift... what UCA's would work best?

Allo to all,

First off thanks for taking a looky here. I have two issues, the first being that whoever lifted the truck (i bought it used, lifted) is a moron and forgot to do a LOT of work to it, so Im fitting the bill.

Secondly, been doing some reading up on UCA'a, and I think I should probably upgrade considering im still running stock. I just never seen a lot of mention on this site to which UCA manufacturer works best with 6" of lift. I am running 35's currently, but if/when I upgrade the UCA's, I'll be slapping on some 315/70 R17's studded for winter use.

Any and all info is welcome and greatly appreciated!

 

The lift is drop bracket, right? If so, the differential might be dropped all the way so that there's factory suspension geometry, in which case you don't actually need new UCA's. They do improve ride quality, though. Some DB lifts don't drop all the way though (I think procomp and fabtech drop it 5 inches, leaving the differential an inch higher than stock, not sure though). Either way, you don't actually need new UCA's, they'd just be for better ride quality. Some good ones are Camburg, Total Chaos, and Icon UCA's. The most popular is probably Light Racing UCA's (pretty cheap from headstrong offroad).

 

Total Chaos actually makes an UCA specifically for 6" drop bracket lifts with heim joints to allow for more adjustability.

Thanks guys! Again, sucks finding out just how much my trucks missing. They didnt even put fabtechs heavy duty tie rod ends on ~facepalm~ And dont get me started on the terrible interior paint job lol. Im scared to see what else pops up as I go along!
