Do I need larger UCA's for Billstein 5100's?

    V6 4x4. Right now, I have Billstein 4600's with a leveling spacer and stock UCA's. I haven't had an issue with that setup yet. I'm planning on installing 5100's on the highest leveling setting with MOOG - Rock Auto UCA's. Anyone knows if I'll need to upgrade UCA's for a larger pair? Thanks.

    No, you don't need to change ucas. If you lift the truck more than 2 inches, it's highly recommended to get new ucas that can fix the change in caster as a result of the lift, like SPC UCAs. Or similar.

    No, if you max them you'll have a tougher time getting it to a "perfect" alignment, but theres no real need to do it.
