Hey folks!
I had my Bilsteins installed at 2.1 and I do like the look. However, now I’m getting the itch to go to the next notch which is 2.8.
Can you fine folks with more mechanical experience chime in?
I had my truck in for an alignment after letting things settle and I spoke with the mechanic (which I trust completely) and asked him to see if he can adjust the ring while it’s on the truck. Figured maybe they had magic compressor or something. He called and said he couldn’t. So, he did the alignment and said things look pretty good under there.
So, could I possibly go 2.8 without those UCA’s everyone talks about lol? I’m kinda pissed I waited to install these because I figured id need $600 control arms and install etc I was looking at over $1000. This ended up costing me about $600 with parts, labour and alignment.
I don’t wanna get blasted for not installing the upgraded control arms ok guys lol. I don’t do any serious off-road and never will. Backroad fishing spots is as crazy as it gets here for me. I’ve been down the off road phase with my jeep and I couldn’t be bothered with the repairs and headaches. Especially on a DD.
Anyways, here are some pics for judgement
