Level kit with UCA

[SportinaHemi]

Sure Zone sells them and Readylift also sells a set of arms

I'll be catchin a cruise out of Galveston in March, maybe I'll just detour

Do you know when they switched to the stamped steel? Trying to decide if it is necessary for mine. This 2012 ram has some real hard to figure out bits lol

I hope they didn't get their info based off the internet, rather than manufacturer's info..

Sounds like it

They don’t realize the Mevos are only purchased with the guys that install Bilsteins because they figure for an extra $100 they get rid of the ball joint popping stamped steel arms while they have it torn apart and not to correct geometry.

If you want to keep them and install them go ahead, a lot of guys have them, it’s a quality part.

That sucks. Even worth replacing then? Maybe compare them to factory... Not replace until maybe if and when factory BJs go out.

While installing the Bilsteins it’s only 2 more bolts per side to install the Mevos, plus you’ll have a grease fitting. Do yourself a favor and prime/paint them before you install. They come bare metal and will start to rust in no time.

Next time wait till someone replies, it’s slow here on the weekends lol

I get so impatient!!!!!!!!

Thanks on painting them. Will do that right away before installing. If I paint them yellow, do I get more height off of them? [emoji14]

What are you guys setting them at to level it with the rear? I hear 2.1 and 2.8 etc - does it actually say that on the strut to place that snap ring?

How are you getting the nut off the strut when replacing it !? Helping a friend this weekend too and watched videos but he says "man they never come off that easy, they always spin the shaft"!

I've seen people set to 2.1 for perfect level, if That's actually on the strut itself... I don't know.

I have a go through socket set that allows for another socket or Allen key, works perfect to holding that stubborn strut in place.

It tells you what notch is per height increase in the instructions

The instructions are posted in this thread

I measured front to rear fender lips, I got 2.5" diffence. I don't want to be nose high, so, guess what I've read is set them at 2.1.
