Nice rig. I just had mine leveled at 2.1 today. Rims and tires on the way from custom offsets. Up next are the Mevotech CTX UCAs.

How was your front alignment after the 2.8 level? How do you like the JBAs and did those correct any angle issues?

Finished up the install on my truck the other day. Figured I’d post a few more shots

Bilstein 5100’s front and rear.
JBA UCA’s
17” Method 305’s wrapped in Falken Wildpeak MT’s 35x12.5x17

I was able to get my alignment spot on, I would post the spec sheet but can't seem to find it. The JBA's are awesome and I definitely recommend them to anybody looking for new UCA's. The ride is great and the truck drives straight so no issues at all. The Mevo's are a good alternative and I see quite a few people running them, although I don't have any experience with them myself

Arms are on! The ride is good so far and the truck feels planted. One more piece of the puzzle complete!

I’ve been saving up to swap out my Bilstein with King 2.5’s in the near future. I don’t mind the Bilsteins for around town, but offroad wise I’m wanting a bit more capability. I’m also going be pulling the trigger on a bed tent setup soon, just taking some time pick out exactly what I want. Definitely leaning towards a lower profile setup so I can still fit the truck in the garage with the tent on and easily get the pups in and out but we’ll see.

Stay tuned!

I was going to say you copied what I did to my truck, but then you went and did the Core upgrades. that's next on my list is the rear control arms. Nice looking rig, esp the delmonico red. Nice choice on the wheels too.

Did you actually notice a difference in the ride compared to the stock arms

I’d say the back end feels more planted but I haven’t driven it enough since the install to notice any major differences. I’ll have to give it a few more days and report back. It’s definitely nice to know I’ve got some beefy ones under there though that’ll take the abuse offroad, plus my stock bushings were shot and squeaking like mad
