Is that picture with new upper control arm.
It doesn't look like new part also seems pushing the limit.
Truck look awesome!

It is OK if truck is just stays on pavement. I am personally not comfortable with this setup. Worst thing could happen uca ball will pop out and it would. Hassle and tow expenses not worth.
Here is picture from my 4th gen with 6 inch lift
Bottom Pic is 3.5 inch lift on 5th gen.

Hmm... ok I see your point. I’ll start looking for some after market uppers. Any suggestions? Also I mainly lifted it due to flooding concerns but it mainly stays on road. Of course it’s nice to have the full capabilities if I need it.

icon Just released their delta arms. Pricey but nice.

Actually... it se
Ride quality seem pretty decent ?
Actually better. I ordered the upgraded front struts and I noticed right away that my truck handled a particular imperfection in my normal route better than the stock bilsteins... May just be the honeymoon phase but my truck did not bounce as much as it normally does. And I only have 8k miles on my truck so I don’t think the originals were worn out.

Very nice! How much worse is the ride? Did you go from stock to that or from a level to that?
Went from stock to this. Don’t notice any difference, in fact I’d go so far as to say it’s better with the upgraded front struts.
