I have the 2019 1500 Classic 4WD and in less than 2 weeks, I'm installing 2.8"Bills front / 1.5"Readylift rear. (installing 35x12.5 too).
I know that this is one of the most discussed topic on here but I wanted to ask anyway based on how I plan to use my truck.
Here's what I currently know from people who installed the same setup specified above or similar:
Of course, we all drive differently and we drive on different terrains. I think that is where the gap is on my mind. Do I need new UCA based on what I listed above? If you could please elaborate your answers to my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
I know that this is one of the most discussed topic on here but I wanted to ask anyway based on how I plan to use my truck.
Here's what I currently know from people who installed the same setup specified above or similar:
- Some have UCA ball joint issues so they recommended new UCA.
- Some have no issued with stock UCAs.
- Someone mentioned that the older gen would require new UCA while the new gen (including mine) now have a newer UCA thus, my stock UCA will have no problem.
- Some with 2017-2019 gens upgraded their UCAs for "additional insurance".
- Some had swore with high mileage and based on experience that I don't need new UCA.
- 80% will be driven on pavement (highway mostly). Occasionally, I will be towing a small trailer or will be hauling stuff from Home Depot (lumber, blocks, etc.).
- 20% for offroad trails (Moab, Arizona, Big Bear). I will start on beginner level trails and work my way up to intermediate level trails. (no rock crawling)
Of course, we all drive differently and we drive on different terrains. I think that is where the gap is on my mind. Do I need new UCA based on what I listed above? If you could please elaborate your answers to my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
