[sdramsey24]

2019 ORP
Bilstein 5100’s up front
Mopar level kit UCA’s
Nitto 295 / 65 / 20 Ridge grapplers on stock 20’s.

just got it home. Super happy with the setup. Drives and rides well. Front end should settle a little

Can you post a few more pics? Does it rub at all at full lock? I’m looking to do about the exact same thing with my 2020 ORP on stock 20” wheels. Thanks in advance, looks great!!

A couple pictures of the uca and cv angles would be amazing. Looking at doing something very similar. Looks good, thanks!

Zero rub at full lock (and not really close) on the wheel well or mud guard. I didn’t modify those at all.

The only place that is close at all is between the tire and control arm. There’s about a thumb width of clearance there.

I’ll see what I can do this afternoon

Is there a specific reason that you opted for the Mopar UCAs over the Zone Orany other UCAs?

When I was doing my research last spring, the Mopar UCA research was pretty solid. People had comparative examples of the additional range of the Mopar UCA vs stock. For me, that confirmation was what I needed to feel good about running that with Bilsteins. I also included cost in the equation. There were others out there I looked at (Fox and Rough Country) but for my application, were just overkill.

I drive around town. Pull my boat. Pull my travel trailer and do a bit of 4 x 4 stuff at the lake and on some goat trails to reach trout and steelhead fishing spots. My need is for traction and a little bit of clearance (hence the bigger tires) and not really around excessive articulation of either front or rear end.

Do you have a model number for th mopar uca

 

[sdramsey24]

Yes sir. I didn't have a link to credit but these are what I ordered for sure:

MOPAR UCA
68323530AA and 68323531AA

It took long enough but here we go.

Offroad package and set the bilsteins on setting 5 I assume? What are the measurements front and back now? Perfectly level or some rake left?

Sweet. Thank you! Can you confirm the off road group part? I didn’t see the decal on the back of your truck. Curious if the off road group will be a little too much for those ucas. Sidewall looks close in the second picture. Thank you.

I just double checked the window sticker. No ORP, I have the skid plates though.

I don't think you'd have an issue with these upper control arms with the ORP springs. From what I understand you can only go up to 1.7" with the ORP setup. So, you'd be within .1" of where I'm at.

For my uses the angle (and clearance) are just fine. I'll never be airing down. I drive, tow, and do some light off roading while camping and fishing. I'm not trying to drag my truck over the Rubicon.

Good luck with whatever configuration you end up with. The research is half the fun!

Okay thanks. Yeah I need about the same ability for hunting fields, access roads, etc. no rock crawling, mud bogging or desert driving. Truck looks great, I’m seriously thinking about going with these.

My truck also has the 3.21 gears. Can you comment on how much of a hit you’ve taken on gas mileage and performance?

It's been a minute, apologies. It's definitely 2-3 mpg around town. 1 - 2 mpg on the highway.

 

[ayoslickxd]

i got about the same set up. im on 305/70/18. took about 1-2 hit on mpg

OP those tires look small for a 295/65.
