Hello there still doesn't seem to be a consensus on this. Do Daystar spacers plus revel links for a 2 inch lift need upgraded UCAs, and if so do the Mopar UCAs do what is necessary?

It's crazy to me that in a truck model that's 6 years old there still doesn't seem to be agreement on this. There are no doubt thousands of air ride gen 5s on the road leveled this way.

Yes there is full consensus that the Mopar lift ucas are meant, designed, and advertised for this exact purpose. Or choose any other lift company if you need to pay more. The main Mopar lift thread contains the most information of the mopar ucas.

I appreciate the reply but I swear I've read through every air suspension thread and there were conflicting comments about:
1. If an upgrade was even needed on a 2 inch lift.
2. If the mopar UCAs accomplish this

Do you have a link to the main Mopar thread you mentioned? Maybe I've limited myself to air discussions too much when the advice is universal?

Yes, it is too limiting to only look for air shocks when the ucas are the same across the board. The Mopar lift isn’t computer listed compatible for your truck because it uses springs instead of the air shocks. It’s generally accepted knowledge that the ucas are needed to allow for the higher angle to knuckle. At 2”, however you lift it, your OEM standard ucas will have a very short life.
