2.8 with stock or mevotechs ?

[fadetoblack188]

Who is doing it and how long have you lasted? Not looking to to spend 500 on uppers right now. Already bought the mevotechs. Just curious who is getting away with it?

I do some light off roadingg during hunting season.

If you return the Mevotechs you’ll have $100 back an you’ll only have pay 400 for real ucas . Spend once cry once.
Check Readylift ucas, $439 from American Truck website, minus those $100 back you only have $339 to cover.

Light off-roading I’m pretty sure you’re fine with those mevotechs you posted in the other thread. Light. Not real off-roading. If you hit trails and they really bounce and the suspension maxes out in the 2.8 setting you risk popping the ball joints out of place. Anything over 2” really stresses the suspension.

Here. A little cheaper.

$299 - $100= $199
I wouldn’t think twice. Lol

Looks like you see so many people running the mevotechs with no issue. I feel if they lay me a year I made my money back. Then I’ll switch up. Can’t spend the 500 right now

Not real popular on here for some reason but I have the Rough Country UCAs with 2.8" and they are great. They are good quality, no shady welds and the ball joints are greaseable. A good budget option to get the improved ball joint angle.

stock UCAs holding up just fine over here at 2.8

I installed my bilstines at +2.8" with Mevotechs about 70,000 miles ago .

I'm offroad weekly hunting ,fishing & scouting . Sometimes it gets pretty rough .

I've had Zero issues with the Mevotechs . I rotate my tires every 6-8k and grease the Mevo's and forget about them .
I kept my stock UCA,s just in case i blew one of the Mevo,s ....i wouldn't hesitate to put them on if needed ....I'd take it a bit easier than with Mevo,s but i would run the oem UCA,s with the bils set at +2.8".

Hope this helps [emoji106]
