    Total Chaos UCA's just installed and this is the best the shop can do after multiple attempts with the BDS lift. Any recommendations? Do i need new parts? They said the tierods were maxed out as well.

    You will have to remove the TC uppers, your lift is designed to work with the geometry of stock arms. I have a brand new set of oe takeoffs that are yours for the ride if needed.

    I still have the originals but thanks for the offer. Do you know what is needed to make them work? What I'm trying to do with the truck, I don't think the originals will hold up.

    Unless you are trying to crank your lift up another couple inches nothing, and even at that you would use the TC adjustable uppers to get it right.

    I'm not sure that is your answer unless adding more lift, you have a ways to go to get a decent alignment at your current height. Was there an alignment issue with stock arms?, they are very strong.

    No problems with the arms, was able to get within specs every time. Im wanting to upgrade so i can hit woops at the dunes full speed and get the wheels off the ground a bit.
