    Hey everyone, I've searched around quite a bit and can't find a clear answer on whether UCA's are needed after lifting my truck other than alignment issues. It's a 6 inch lift from RC with coilovers 0n 37x13.50 tires. I don't mind spending the extra coin if it will lengthen the life of the truck but also have no complaints with the ride quality and performance so far. Truck drives straight as an arrow and performs great off road as well. Additionally, the kit did come with a differential drop but that axle angle is gnarly, any advice on how I could lessen it? If I missed a thread then I apologize. (Skid plate is off because I had to take apart that silly actuator after swamping it the other weekend).

    Axle looks fine to me. Your crossmembers were chopped and lowered to specifically address the angle of the axles.

    if you’re truck is driving straight and doesn’t have any problems, then you do not need UCAs.

    Thank you for the quick reply dude. I’ll leave it alone for now. Now the 4x4 actuator is a whole different problem I’m hoping I solved
