    Most people I have seen on this forum recommend spending the extra money for a uniball set up. And Light Racing doesn't have the best reputation, despite having supposedly fixed the design flaw that caused a lot of the failures.

    Personally, I am going to go with the Camburg UCA's when the time comes for it.

    Man that is a clean truck. I just love the look of our trucks with just a mild lift and slightly larger tires.

    Hopefully someone in here can help me. My spacer lift is starting to sag in the front. Iv got a 2.7 with ARB bumper and warn 10000 pound winch. Aal in the back. I'm about to order this set up. With all the weight on the front should I set the billies on the first or second setting with the eibachs? I want it level with the rear. Would the second setting compress the shocks to much or what? Thanx!

    Leave it at the 0 setting. Only use the other settings on stock springs

    Nelson18matt my tires are 265/75r16. I planned on installing 285/75r16's but the weight difference of the heavier 285's changed my mind. I use this truck to tow a small fiberglass camper on long road trips so fuel mileage was my main concern.

    Thanks, I heard that I would have to get 5125s or a longer shock to accommodate the rear lift from a 3" leaf pack.

    5100s with Eibachs up front and 5125s with dakar CS019R leaf springs (95-97 taco springs) minus the third leaf in back. Sitting on 31" tires

    I didn't measure before hand, but it seems like I got more than 3" of lift. My front axle boots look pretty bad, looks like that will be the next thing I'll learn to fix haha

    I've heard that, but I've also also heard that they can cause vibrations and possibly damage the front diff?

    How hard are they to install?
