    That's really surprising, pretty much everyone I've talked to said that if you get close to 3 inches or go above you for sure need a UCA

    I honestly love my lift, it rides awesome.
    It aligned just fine with mt stock UCA's. As for the rear, I did a single AAL initially. Then did the 3 leaf AAL pack. It was day and night difference. I know the single leaf is cheaper. Ill just say you get what you pay for.

    Cool thanks for the reply I'm looking into getting that same front lift just wanted some reply before I pulled the trigger. As for the rear I'm thinking Dakar leaf pack . Planning on doing this once haha. I also might go ahead and get Tc Uca with it

    Your Truck looks great!! It's weird how some need the uca's and some don't. I want to go higher with my truck and not sure if I want to buy uca's and take the chance. I have 884's coils set at 0 and it looks good. I got 2 inches. But not thinking of having them taken off and set at .85 and that will give me one more inch. And then add the 3 leaf for the rear.

    I haven't gotten UCAs, hasn't been an issue for me.

    I'm not really into off-roading recreationally so my truck doesn't ever see anything too crazy. With that being said, I do spend a lot of time hunting/fishing/camping and it takes me everywhere I feel comfortable going with ease.

    1st gen 5100's set on 0 w/ 3" Eibach 620 lb spring rate coils & Camburg UCA's. Regular 5100's w/ an 1.5" AAL. I need to get a 1.5" Wheelers spring pack. Always better than OEM leaf springs w/ a single AAL.

    It's a little firmer than stock, not bad or terribly noticeable, just feels a little different. It's great though, I love it.

    With a 3" lift you will be able to get your alignment pretty close to factory specs on the stock UCA, however it won't be exact. It's really at owners discretion. I got UCA's for mine since I would already have everything torn out. Plus I know that in the future at some point I'll move up from 33's to 35's.

    This is exactly the look I'm going for. I've been looking at the Headstrong Bilstein 5100 kit with 887's and the HS 3 Leaf AAL. Is there anything else I'd need? Seems too simple :) Also, what wheels are those?

    I went with Headstrong as well. Maria will take care of you. Don't forget the spacer for the taco lean. My wheels are 16x8 1/ 2 Raceline Assualt wrapped with 285 / 75 / 16 Goodyear DuraTracs.
    And yes its that simple. Install wasn't to bad.
