    Hello,

    I just wanted to confirm before I do the install on Monday. Do I need aftermarket UCA's (Built right, TC, Camburg etc...) for 5100's with OME x885 coils set at 0?

    In the rear, I'm running 4 leaf TSB pack with 5100 rear shocks. Just looking to level out my truck and have a better off road ride since I work on a farm and use my truck around the farm. I do hit the occasional fire road when car camping, but haven't done any hardcore off roading.

    Can anyone also attach or show the ideal alignment numbers for a 2nd gen DCSB with a lift?

    Thanks!

    Right there at 2.5'' is where you start to need UCA's to get steering back in line.

    I needed them at 1.75".

    I don't listen to the "under 2.5" argument anymore. If you're lifting near 2", plan on UCAs.

    You might be able to get in "spec" without them. Spec is a wide range and being at the lower end of the caster range really sucks on the highway. It depends how important driving characteristics are to you and how perceptive you are to them.

    Thanks everybody. I'll see what the alignment tech can do on Monday. If needed, I'll make an order for Built Right UCA's
