    If you're just leveling at .85 OEM UCAs will be fine. I can't say for certain if you'll be able to align on stock UCAs at 1.75. I went straight to 2.5 on my bilsteins and already had after market UCAs.

    I was under the impression the 2.5 setting was'nt suposed to be used on the 16 and up trucks, at least until the new model 5100s arrive.

    I just installed 887 with 5100's on 0. I am also using a 1/4" toytec top plate spacer. I achieved right at 3" lift on my DCSB and the ride is great!

    I was pretty content with my ride, but after this thread and reading through a lot of the stickyed lift thread I decided to buy a pair of OME 888 coils. Interested to see if the ride is that much different compared to Bilsteins at 2.5 on stock coils.

    Front sits right at 23-1/8" if I recall correctly. Been awhile since I measured it. I'll double check tomorrow.

    Yes, I agree! Too many people are advising not to go that high on the Bilsteins. Looks like the best idea for ride and safety. Where are you getting the coils from?

    I couldn't get the page to come up? Toytec has the 888s for 169, plus you can use the coupon code and safe 8.50. Mine with shipping is 182.00!

    General rule of thumb is if you stay under 3" of lift up front the stock UCA should be fine. However not all trucks are created equal apparently and your results may very.
