    Just like the title asks? Are new UCA's needed for front Bilsteins set at 1.75? I'm currently set at 2.5 and within an 1/8" of being level but my caster is out. May lower down to 1.75 to I can avoid going with UCA's. Thoughts?

    No. I would drop it to 1.75 because i,m not sure what having your caster off will do to the tires.

    Caster isn't a tire wearing angle. I'm just tired of the lack of directional stability going down the highway.
