it depends on what truck you have (helps if you fill in your signature) and what type of level you want.

you won’t need to change your uca with just a level.

this link will show you some options. I’ve never bought from them

should be easy peasy. I’m guessing a 1 1/2” spacer? Your best best is to search the threads for spacers. Tons of info on doing just this. I think many have also used motofab. I just saw a thread on an aftermarket USA made one for like $26. So you have some options. I have a Rebel too but I don’t run with a spacer. I like a little rake personally.

1. What is the part number for The daystar leveling spacers? KC09113BK - listed up to 2018, but fits 2019.

2. will or should i change the UCAwhen i level the car. Since this is a 2.5" level kit I would personally get the Mopar control arms with the higher travel ball joints. Right: 68323530AA Left: 68323531AA.
Unless you are planning on going higher later then get a control arm that can handle more lift.

Thank you for the info.

Is there a 2inch spacer kit? I want to retain a slight rack (maybe half inch between the fron and rears) and worry that the 2.5inch daystar will make the front higher than the rears

Also what is the best UCA out there for the 5th gen rams?

From what I have heard even though it is listed as a 2.5" the actual lift amount is right around 2" and I believe that is the only size available from Daystar. Daystar is the only poly spacer I know of for the Rams which will provide the most comfort. I know people say they wear out, but that has been debunked as the poly bushings have been shown to hold their shape and size longer than most trucks are on the road.

There are other 1-2"spacers made of steel or aluminum from Ready Lift, Motofab, etc...

Best UCA would depend on what the truck is going to be used for. For a simple 2" level the MOPAR control arms are fine. If you plan to go higher than 2" look at Ready Lift or Zone.

Right now I am just going with the daystar to level, but once manufacturers start making more options for lifts I know I will be going to 4-6” lift with tires

Also just to clarify, if trying to keep costs down.

is the UCA necessary with the daystar?
