    Would this solve the rubbing issue?

    Replacment UCA's will eliminate any rubbing on the stock UCA. Also, for example. Total Chaos UCA's correct for lost caster when lifted. I have no robbing issues at all on anything. Useing a 1/2" spacer on the 5100's IMHO, would be better than adding preload to the OME 885 springs.

    Do you think the toytec coilover kit on 5100's would do anything for the stock UCA rubbing chris?

    Not sure. I dont have any experience on the coilover kit for the 5100's. The only way I think it would make a differance, is of the coils on the kit are smaller in diameter, in wich case, I would just get a new UCA.

    Dang just got off the phone with 4wheelparts a while ago and they want $750 to get all my stuff installed and thats if I have all the parts I need. He said that he is unfamiliar with toytec and never installed toytec parts. Isn't coil overs just coil overs and AAL's just AAL's no matter what brand name? Any ways he said with the front coil overs, rear AAL's, 5100's all around, UCA's, my wheels and tires balanced and mounted, and the final alignment after the lift would be around $750. $750 if he doesn't need to get any other parts to make it work. He also said that they don't normally install stuff they don't sell but since they are kind of slow because of the economy that he would do it. He also said that it might be a 2 day project which sucks for me because I live about 120 miles from their shop and I need my truck on a daily basis. Man what to do because I would already be taking a day off of work to go! :eek:

    Friggin A, for reals chris! I'm going to call around for sure because that don't sound right at all. I only went to them because someone recommended them. Last time I called them a couple of weeks ago he said it would be around 4 or 500 but that was without the UCA's. I wish I knew someone out here that knew how to install this sh*t!:mad:

    Everything you are wanting to install should take a shop about 4 to 5 hours. If they are stupid, maybe 6. Definatly call around and get priceing.

    Yeah, copy that chris! I would go to you but your only 700 miles from me one-way! Haha! It's just a bummer because I was hoping to take it to them. Oh well, I'm sure they aren't the only good shop around. I guess my lift kit might take longer then I thought to get put on. Oh chris, I got some pics of my truck on here now. Just looks stock though.;)

    Definately a rip off. Had a talk with a local shop in my town, and dude will install all for about $400; front C/O, Deaver's, Rear 5150's, diff drop, etc.... Even thats high for me. Will try to install myself.

    As far as the Toytech coilovers, Im not saying they replace the need for UCA's. Hell, I will be adding those to my set up also. But, if you went with a coilover, you can achieve same lift, have great ride and travel, should not have any rubbing, plus you are improving your front set up for optimal performance.

    Dang $400! Thats a lot better then $750! Yeah I'm going to keep calling around for some better prices. Messed up part is that any big city from me is 120 miles away! Theres actually a Les Schwab about 50 miles from me so I'm going to give them a call sometime this week and see what they have to say. Only thing that worries me is that these places might not do the install because I have all the parts already.:(

    Do you only get the rubbing problems when you add the spacer? I just got my 5100's in today, i got them for the sole purpose of leveling the front end. That shouldn't cause the rub huh?
