    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some opinions/help on my current Uca uniball bolt angle.

    I have had the lift in for a few months now and finally decided to try and match the front height to the rear.

    Current setup:
    Ext travel rr 2.5 Kings front and rear
    650lb spring and I think 12" springs?
    total chaos uca
    Icon aal

    This is the current angle sitting on the street.

    I'm leaning on side of it being to sharp of an angle, but also appreciate the look of it level.

    Any input, and anyway to correct the angle other then lowering the truck?

    Thanks.

    Have you taken any measurements? Bottom of fender flare to hub center? I go more by how much up travel/extension I still have from ride height. And also how hard my CV boot ribs are rubbing each other. Measure fender to hub center at ride height, then jack up truck and measure again fully drooped. Should be around 2" or more of travel.

    Can you post some pics? If the angle is really severe but you arent running much lift, you might have the arms swapped (driver on pass and vice versa) and upside down.

    3" of droop at the wheel is minimum we recommend.
