    See above. You will get 2" upfront and nothing in the rear and have 1" sag. This is why 3/2 and 2/1 lift kits are popular. Zero benefit but it lifts it and levels it out.

    I have the 6112 on the highest clip 5160 and HD Dakars. Just installed TC UCA and it rides like I don’t have power steering. Does anyone know why? Is it the sway bar?
    Also, the trucks ride is REALLY rough. Idk what to do

    Bizarre. Cannot think of a reason. Hope you figure it out. Did you get it aligned? I have mine set at 10/8 (the newer 6112's) and have the 650# springs. Mine rides great even before the alignment. Did you do the Total Chaos UCAs at the same time, or did it only turn to crap after that?

    The steering became super tight afterwards. The ride quail has been really harsh for a while now

    Well if it went south after the UCAs it is related to that.

    Bring it into a shop that specializes in it.

    I just got an older set of the 6 notch ones off Rock Auto. I think they where a close out deal. $300 for a set. I think that's pretty good. I'm in the process of doing the 6112s in the front and 5160s in the rear. I too have the Icon RXT pack, and I think I'm going to do the option 3. Got a RTT, Rack, 270xl awing, and shower stall, with plans of 6 gallon water tank in the future.

    Sounds like you got a great deal. You should be good with the option 3 with your weight in the back.
