Do you need UCA with extended travel coil overs?

Hello everyone so hopefully someone can help me with this, I am upgrading my suspension with King 2.5 coil overs in the front and king 2.5 shock in the back both long travel set my questions is can run them on stock UCA and leaf springs? I have Stealth Customs RAY 10 on 265-70-17 I plan on upgrading my UCA and Leaf springs but can I run my king suspension for now? Comments

Maybe picks of what some of you have done would be cool too.. Thanks..

 

I believe it can be done, but you risk damaging both the uca and shocks if you get crazy... To and from work should be ok until you get new ucas

 

Wow okay thanks for the tip..

 

I'd hold off until you have leaf springs and UCAs as well. It's much more efficient to install everything at once, not to mention less problematic overall.

The UCAs are what will achieve a proper alignment with the new suspension; at best you'll be maxing out the OEM UCAs and at worst you'll be damaging suspension components.

 

Cool.. It makes sense thanks for your input..

 

I know it's exciting to have a new suspension setup to install and rightfully so, but wait till you have all of the components first.

 

I would wait. I have the King 2.5's and my shop would not do an install without a UCA swap due to not being able to perform a proper alignment. You can get away with stock lowers but the uppers allow a for correct alignment not to mention full and proper articulation.

 

You won't get all the travel you paid for without doing UCA .

And like others said you wont get proper alignment and risk damaging stuff.

I'm curious are you mistaking what you bought with extended length and full long travel?
Because if it's real long travel you clearly didn't do your research because for LT you also need longer axles, lower and upper control arms and shock relocate in the rear...
I'm more so thinking you got the extended length ones

 

My thoughts also. Either way he needs UCA’s to get a proper alignment.

 

It’s not long travel my mistake it’s extended length or EXT..
Thanks for all input and will wait for my UCA, I’m going with Baja Kits UCA and Deaver lift springs.
They recommend a mini pack to add to my exsistin leaf pack or a full set would be better?

 

I have a extended fox
Ome Dakar springs
Total chaos UCA

And getting dirt kings LCA in the spring

 

Those are 3.0’s?

 

Sorry my bad I meant to say 3" They are the 2.5's
