    Planning on the OME 2.5" lift with the 613 springs for my 2018 Tundra Crewmax with a steel winch bumper and winch.

    I talked to Toytec (where I'll get it) and they indicated that new UCAs were not necessary with this lift. That seems counterintuitive based on everything else I've read.

    Anyone have practical experience with this lift kit and their UCAs? I've searched and found conflicting info...

    From what I have read 3"+ is the general cut off for requiring adjustable UCAs

    I'm running OME and I did the UCAs. Did I need to? Maybe not! I did it anyway.

    I have an OME lift and I have the stock UCA's and I have never been told by the alignment specialists that there was a problem aligning the front end.

    Be prepared for a significantly stiffer ride.

    I have the OME with the 614. You don't need aftermarket UCAs. I still have my OEM and got a great alignment although I will upgrade to adjustable SPC's. Been putting that off for some time but will be an improvement. In other words you don't need to get aftermarket now. They are easy to swap in when you really think you need them. Yes, ride stiffer on the hwy but damn good off the beaten path.

    I have the medium springs, no winch or after market bumper.
