    you can get the 5100s set them at 2.5" and then add a 10mm Enhancer kit to get the extra 1/2 of an inch. adds about 50 bucks to the lift.

    UCA's are upper control arms. If you look inside your wheel well where your stock shocks are, the UCA's are coming out towards you and they're meant to give your shocks extra play/travel.

    If you get a 3" lift without getting new UCA's, ride quality is going to dramatically decrease. You'll feel ALOT more than if you got new ones.

    Total Chaos Fabrication makes some great ones and they have 2 different ones to select from. Also Camburg and Icon make some. Check them out here - Good luck to you!

    P.S.
    This is what my truck looks like with my setup

    and this is what it used to look like
