    How often do you like to buy new front tires due to uneven wear?
    (asks the guy also mulling over UCAs after driving for two years with a 3/2 lift & level who did not buy UCAs but has considered buying them this entire time due to monitoring highway handling, and tire wear) :thumbsup:

    so this would be issue even if u get regular none-extended travel coilover, or doesnt matter due to lift even if its only 1" it screws up with wheel angles?

    From what I've read, you should be fine under 2". Anything over 2.5" calls for UCAs as suspension angles are all out of whack/overextended at that point.

    No. Standard travel coilovers and 1" of lift? Save your money. Your alignment will be great assuming you find a shop with a decent alignment tech.
