    Well I don't think I have enough cash for a full bilstein 5100 coilover lift with new UCAs but I don't have around $400 or so to spend.. now I'm looking into a leveling kits but I don't want spacers or have to get new UCAs... is there anything out there in my budge? I've searched but nothing really has come up.. maybe there isn't anything or I'm missing it.. please help friends

    Bumper, Winch, 315s, Sliders, OME HD lift, Custom rear swingout, roof rack, drawers, way too much to list.
    If all you're doing is leveling I think you can use your stock coils, buy the adjustable front 5100s and just lift the front 1-2 inches until level. You shouldn't need UCAs until you get over 2.5-3 inches of lift. If you're trying to lift the rear as well, AALs are a cheap option, just don't go too high. If you do the work yourself you should be within your budget.
    People will more knowledge feel free to chime in, I've been out of the lifting game for a while.

    I could also get 5100s all the way around and just not set them above 2.5 and I get UCAs later too I suppose

    I'll tell ya, I used the 5100s up front for over three years of HEAVY desert miles, and they are still functioning. They're now on to their second owner ! Dont stress on the UCA, the Bilsteins will make you very happy compared to stock!

    pull the over load off the rear and bring the rear back down to level with the front nothing cheaper than that. You could look at $100 lift for options but if you have miles on that suspension than you want to change shocks anyway.

    Top spacer would work too. Retains factory ride. Just might have to extend the bump stop.

    You could also look for coil overs off a 2016+. They will give you an inch up front.
