    Not for about a year. Want to get wheels and step bars then I'll start thinking about UCA's. I'll be just fine at 3" for now but when I get 295/70's I'll start looking more into that bc I'd really like to ramp up the height a little.

    Any higher than 3" would look stupid on 275/70's

    700 if you plan on any bumpers or winches etc

    650 if not.

    My fox coilovers are 700 I think it feels great. But with a 4.6 idk how it will ride.

    650 will be perfect I bet

    That's what I was thinking. I'd have definitely gone with 700's had I gotten the 5.7L tundra.
    Plus I won't be going off-road aside from a few minor trails to the camp 90% pavement.

    That's fair, I'm trying to come up with a plan for them if it won't align once everything goes on. Was thinking SPC's but curious about the Camburg ball joint ones, they're damn near the same price.

    SPC's are pretty much maintenance free

    That's a big reason why I like them. I just wonder if the MOOG ball joint on the Camburgs makes enough of a difference to give them some consideration.

    If they won't align on mine (which I'm thinking they will if my 3" spacer didn't have any problems) I'll just drop down a quarter of an inch and get UCA's a little sooner. No muss no fuss!

    For what it's worth, I went from a 2.5" spacer to the 3" of lift with the BOSS kit and the difference was INCHES, not just a half inch. Not sure what the difference is there

    Maybe it has to settle?? My 3" spacer lift settled to 2.75 inches after a week. :notsure:

    Yeah man, installed the SPC uppers today. Have to get it aligned ASAP. There is a ton of room for adjustment, but unfortunately they dont come "preset" so I had to give it my best shot without any real way to know how close it is lol.

    What'd you do in the rear? Block or shackles?

    Yeah I would. I got mine aligned post spacer lift the very next morning!

    I have blocks in the back, but planning on shackles in a few months. From what I hear, ride isn't a lot different between the two

    No issues with my 1.5" blocks. Ride is similar to those with shackles
