    I will for sure. I noticed my wheels doing this \\ // after my lift was in and it just didnt feel right. I googled them and it seems they may have had some balljoints fail early. Are the newer versions of the light racing UCA durable?

    I called Biltein a couple weeks ago and asked them when to expect 5100s for the 2016 since they don't have it listed on their website. They said it was still in the works. What could the difference possibly be in a 2016 specific 5100 if these seem to work just fine? I understand the 16 spring is 1" taller, could the valving be different in the 16 version when it comes out?

    I am dropping of my 08' this Wednesday for the frame recall/repalcement, courtesy of Toyota Motors. While it's in there i will have them toss on a set 5100's with the front set at .85". I believe the frame replacement takes less than a week, afterwards I will have some 265/75r 16 BFG's put on. Should be good to go after that.
