Bilstein 6112

If you can afford them, get them. If not, don't sweat it at that setting. I was able to get ~2.3* Caster out of my stock UCA's at #3.

The biggest problem is that the stock UCA's will limit your down travel. So there's more than just alignment benefits to upgrading. I'll be upgrading mine this year hopefully.

 

Your Off-roading and worried about alignment....means you get UCAs. Save the extra 400+

 

I can afford it, but it will put a different mod on hold. However, I would rather do this all at once, so if people are recommending them for function I will probably add them in. What UCAs are you looking into? I haven't done my research on what type I should go with yet. I know there are different types of joints and some that are more adjustable.

 

Get either JBA or SPC

 

Just stumbled across this FAQ page that looks to be helpful. I think it has my answers. https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/faq-page.html

Thanks! Looking into those.

 

I'll be going with JBA, personally.

 

Looks like main differences are:
JBA allows a bit more down travel (10 degrees more)
SPC has more adjustability for camber/caster

My truck went out of alignment in stock configuration which makes me lean towards SPC, but more travel is always nice.

 

Just make sure you find a shop that knows how to adjust SPC UCAs. That’s the biggest con of them. Some alignment shops have no clue. Just a heads up, otherwise they’re a good UCA.

I have JBAs

 

That's pretty much it. What's also different about the newer SPC's is they are a fully forged unit now. As @oscolivar1 said, make sure you have a shop that knows how to align with those arms though if you go with SPC. Many people go with the JBA's since they have a set amount of caster and camber making them less likely for the alignment tech's to eff it up. Either way they are both proven arms that you'll be happy with.

 

Have you ever had issues getting the JBA's aligned?

 

Nope!! I’ve already gotten them aligned twice. You can head over to the JBA UCA thread to check if people have had issues with alignment. There was an issue with Rusty ball joint but that has been resolved.

Very cool! I know I'll never be able to remember where this post was but I will remember when I order the 6112's to call wheeler's. Thank you sir! I have had great luck with my 5100's with Eibachs may as well keep the trend going. Getting ready to revamp the rear suspension and Im just starting to get my info together for the front perhaps later this year. This was just what I needed

 

Does anyone know who has the 6112's in stock for 3rd gens?

 

I've called most of the larger and more popular retailers and had no luck. I finally got a hold of Mike ORW on Facebook this past Tuesday and he had 1 set left which was a display. So I picked them up. His distributors are out unfortunately. Unless there's a shop that doesn't advertise through social media much or through the forums, chances are they've been contacted and have sold out. But I'd say stay percipient on contacting them. There are sooo many folks always asking and if you're late to their supply, you'll be waiting again.

 

I just lucked out and found a pair (last one) in Washington.

I forget where I was reading about driver side spacers, but can anyone confirm the size I should be looking for to compensate for lean on 3rd gen DCOR 4x4? I believe I was seeing 3/8" ?

 

I thought I've seen folks talk about the 1/4 spacer. But do you not want to stagger the 6112's? Cause you can do that to compensate for the lean.

 

That's what I did on my 2nd gen and it's within 1/8" from left to right.
