    Yes sir! Thanks! Ok the sleeves that came with my 5125s aren’t used? That’s what stumped me this morning

Need an alignment badly after install I screwed my alignment up bad. Got an appointment tomorrow morning at 11am. Also thinking I may have to get rid of the spider trax spacers bc I’ve now got a slight rub in reverse full turn but hoping it’s the alignment

    what sliders are those, seems like a bad design

    About to do exactly the same thing. How has your experience been after about half a year? Before the UCAs, how did your alignment numbers look? What about the ride quality sitting on 6/5 height? Thanks!

    Has anyone set their 6112's to 6/6 and run a 1/4" spacer on the driver side for lean? How did it affect ride quality etc?

    Just did my lift this past weekend. 6112 set at 4/5 and 5100 in the rear with a 1 inch block. The ride quality is so much better and no more nose dive. Thought it was going to be a stiffer ride from what I have read but it actually is not. For me it’s a comfortable ride. I did also replace the stock UCA for the JBA and also did ECGS bushing.

    I’m about to install mine like this, I just got the assembled today. I didn’t want different spring compressions so I opted for the spacer to even it out. I’ll let you know once I install them.

    I’m running 6/5 with a 1/4” on each side from settle and a little sag from armor. I loved my 600lb springs so I added spacers got my height back and no difference in ride. Stoked on set up that’s for sure. :thumbsup:
