    Y'all are getting crazy. All you need is a jack, some jack stands, and some beefy wrenches. You can use channel locks or anything else that can get you leverage to bend the fender out of the way to get the UCA bolts out.

    I didn't pull those bolts. No reason to. When you do the UCA just push it up out of the way. Coil fits in with a little down force on the rotor/hub assembly.

    Yea but most people end up replacing the UCA cause the stock one bottoms out at anything more than like 2" of lift.

    That's why I said "when you do it"
    I've done it both ways and even if I wasn't changing the UCA I wouldn't disassemble the LCA from the hub. I'd knock the ball joint out and push the UCA up and out of my way.
    Less time all the way around and the alignment isn't near bad as would be with the LCA method.
