    I’m going to be getting bilistien set up. 6112 up front 1.9 setting. Do I or will I eventually need upper control arms ? I’ll be running 5160 in the rear. I just wanna do my truck right the first time.

    Awesome thanks bro. I did talk to David at coachbuilder and he said I don’t need uca running 6112 at 1.9 setting. If I did get uca it would mess with something with caster or alaignment or something. Can’t remember. But he did say I’ll will not need uca. But I’ve read post on here. Some people have them. Some don’t. I just don’t know if I do or not ya know ?

    I have been running 6112's top setting for years on stock UCA with no issues. So I would say not needed.

    6112 at 1.9 is what I am running on my truck. You will not need a new uca. You will be just fine.

    I do but I've started do more off-roading so I'm moving onto a ADS coilover and UCA up front.

    I was very impressed with how well the handled off-roading. But here in socal deserts the 6112 will heat up and fade fast. But on slow trips in Mammoth they worked great.
