    I don’t need any benefit out of it except for looking cooler. I can’t lift my truck (2019 trd off-road) because my parking spots vertical clearance but I like the look. Thanks everyone.

    Sure.

    It’s a lot of money and work for an exceedingly low return.

    Thanks. Just making sure. The money is no big deal, I just like the way it looks. Thanks again.

    Why don’t you just paint your UCA red or green or something and just make up a story about how it’s some cool expensive aftermarket UCA? Way better idea

    No reason why not, do what you like. plus if you ever decide to lift it that's one less thing to worry about

    Yea.

    Faux carbon fiber wrap. Topped with some stickers. :thumbsup:

    Use the funds you'd save on the UCA and labor to buy groceries to help out some folks in need.
