Do I need to replace my UCA's?

[JRD]

I finally bought my new set of wheels/tires & am now looking to get my leveling kit installed (daystar/revel). I also purchased the UCA's from the Mopar 2" kit. When calling around getting quotes today, the rep said that I did not need to replace them for a level and it would be a waste of time and money (additional $150 for installation). My question is, is it in my best interest to replace them or just leave the stock ones on?

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Might as well do it while your under there. At least do it for peace of mind because it’s not going to hurt anything. And you won’t be second guessing yourself down the road.

what are the specs on the wheels ? offset back spacing?

also are the new UCA's you bought for air suspension i believe that 2" kit is for non air

if you do any sort of change to the geometry of the truck (Lift or Level) rule of thumb is to replace UCAs. so Yes definitely do it.

I got the Method MR305s, -12 offset & 4.5” of back spacing.

Regarding the UCA’s themselves, I just saw a couple people on here running that set up and decided to go with it to be completely honest. I’m going to try and verify, that may answer the question on its own.

I’m going to have to try and search back in the initial threads and find someone running them because I can’t seem to find any confirm they will work which is a bummer.

YES! thats the nipple i keep referring to. i wish i knew the appropriate name for that so i didnt have to call it a "nipple"

I will never again in my life call it anything else other than "Nipple" from here on out. Im stealing it

 

[Redz72]

I was wondering what that nipple was for…thought it was a grease fitting at first. . But nope, just a “nipple.”
