Howdy folks, the front driver's side wheel bearing is going out. The truck has 109k miles, all factory original up front with the exception of the Bilstein 5100s I installed. Got a pair of Timken wheel hub assemblies on the way and grabbed a pair of CV half-shafts for $65 a side. No issues currently that I can tell on the CV joints but for that price I'd rather swap them out while I've got the hubs off.

When installing the 5100s on all 4 @ 2.1" up front (no spacers in the rear) I skipped the UCAs knowing I wouldn't be maxing at 2.8" but now that I have to tear it all apart again, I was thinking maybe I go ahead and throw in a set of the MEVOtech UCAs.

I don't want this to turn into some rabbit hole where next thing you know I'm replacing the entire front-end suspension over a single wheel bearing failure BUT is there anything I should absolutely do given my mileage?

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
