    Ive also done a sway bar delete and will be putting a harbor freight apex 12000 winch in when I get the front bumper. These next few mods will be coming in the next few weeks.

    I went with total chaos so there is going to be a bunch more adjustability with ride heights past 2 inches. Getting the stock UCA out might have been the hardest and most frustrating part of doing the suspension.

    I dont think you will get more travel just from the UCA but I could be wrong. I think the primary reason to get a different UCA is being able to go up to a 3 inch lift without stressing the CV axles.

    That makes sense I have the 7th notch on the driver side and 5th on the passenger I don’t think I’m at a 3” lift probably just 2.5”
