    Spindles have no effect on any of your suspension geometry. The only reason you'd want new UCA's is if you get extended travel shocks (Kings, Fox, Icon, ADS, etc). If you install spindles literally the only other thing affected are the brake lines.

    I can't comment on the tires, so I'll let someone with 1st hand experience chime in.

    You definitely don't need UCAs with spindles, assuming you still have factory coils or something under 2.5-3"

    You may need the CMC depending on how you use your vehicle, but most likely not with 275s. @ChadsPride has spindles and stealth 6s too I believe, but we're all still waiting on him to buy his rubbers!!!

    I have stock at the moment but once everythings purchased ill be throwing on icons stage 1 kit, scs stealth 6s wrapped in KO2s, and maybe the spindles.. I dont offroad much, maybe some dirt roads, and light to medium trails... I needed some confirmation on everything, Im not 100 on the 2.75" of lift, kinda wanting a little more height, 4" spindles and coilovers set to 0 should give me a nice height..

    thanks for the replies!

    I ran 285/75r16's on 16x7's with 3.5" BS. They only rubbed on the fender flares. Removed the flares and 0 rubbing. No CMC required in my case

    You could use the Maxtracs for lift and drop the preload on your coilovers (if you have any) and probably be very happy

    If depends on how tall your coils are now regarding how much lift you will have after the spindle install

    Tons of info on here.

    If you havnt pulled the trigger i would think about Maxtracs and 884s with 5100s (set at zero) up front

    Would look really good and be an awesome lift for the $$$

    Yes those are icon ucas. If you are just getting the standard travel icons you don't need ucas. Even though I don't run preload ( 0 lift ) I have the extended travel icons. So you need ucas for that. I run 285/70/17 with just the 4" in front.
