    First things first: - take another look at your choice of lift there are MUCH better choices that that.

    Second - some lifts do not require the use of a aftermarket UCA. If you do decide to go with one hop around and read others experiences here on TW prior to purchasing

    Third - and probably most important - Do you have an end goal in mind? meaning what size tires do you want to run? will you need to regear? are you doing the lift for looks or are you going to wheel the truck?

    Once you can answer some of these questions the membership will be in a better position to offer you suggestions on your setup. :thumbsup:

    not to sure. i hunt, that's about it. i don't want a mall crawler, but im not looking to climb the biggest rock. i for sure want to go 6inch, i was just wondering could i keep the uca's that i perches now with the 6''. i don't want to waste money. i know rough country isn't the best lift. but didn't know that when i purchased the lift.

    What size wheel/tire will you be going with when you do the 6" drop bracket lift?

    If that's the case then your choice of UCA'a are not the most daunting thing that will affect your wallet. ;) You'll definitely want to look into re-gearing to 4.56
    As a Manual 6spd owner as well I've found the 4.56 gear ratio to be close to stock performance on 35's
    I believe a TC or DSM UCA would be your most cost effective option and will work with your future lift plans.
    I'd stay away from the LR UCA - seem way to many issues with them failing.

    Wheelers / DownSouth Motorsports are two good sources that are both vendors here on TW. :thumbsup:
