    I have seen people do lifts with stock UCA. If I am going going to be lifting the front by an inch or two, can I keep stock UCA?

    Edit: I will be running stock tires and rims.

    probably, or maybe. depends on everything added up such as tire size, wheel offset, lift hardware, etc. what hardware are you looking at including wheels/tires?

    Yes. However, you may need an aftermarket UCA to achieve greater alignment caster, if you are also increasing your tire size.

    Yes, but you will scrub the outter edges of the tires. You will be much happier if you replace the UCA. Good luck with your truck.

    that shouldn't be a problem. sounds like nothing extreme.

    there are other benefits to increasing caster such as driving dynamics and steering feel for those into the driving part if you're into that. i think these trucks drive crappy at low caster, but you wouldn't know unless you changed it.
