I'm having the Toytech Bilstein 5100 lift w/ 1.5" AAl's installed next week
I was told if I use the optional spacers for the full 3 inch lift it might be difficult to align correctly because of the stock upper control arms. Has anyone had an issue with the full 3 inch lift alignment ? I'm getting 265 75 R16 Goodyear Wrangler Adventure with Kevlar tires installed this weekend.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

According to all the research and reading on the 5100 lift that I have done on this site, you will most likely need new UCA's if you do the full 3 inch lift.
