Please tell me how thanking you for your response but clarifying that I was asking @navaidone as evidenced by my QUOTING HIS POST in my question is "being a dick"? I then went on to apologize if your feelings got hurt. Oh well, you need some Jesus on this Easter Sunday. God bless you sir.

I just ordered direct from Powerteq with free 2-day shipping since they are now showing in stock.

Uhhh yeah, ok.

My God guys! There's a reason why I quoted @navaidone in my question. I was interested in where HE ordered from because he did so very recently. I said thanks to @Wakinvol for his answer but clarified I was asking someone else who had ordered more recently. Give me ya'lls mailing addresses and I'll send some coloring books for your safe space.

Sorry your feelings got hurt.

Thanks, but I was asking @navaidone since he ordered one very recently.

Where'd you order from?

Yessir they are.

Thanks! Tires are LT285/55R22 Ridge Grapplers. HUGE shout-out to @PabloK for the help in selecting the maximum tire size without rubbing. He's a good dude!

New wheels and tires

The 808 in his username gives it away!

Hey bud, got any pics looking down the side of the truck? I want to see how close the wheels come to being flush with fenders.

Selling a set of four 1-1/4" wheel spacers for 2014-2021 GM trucks. 6x139.7 bolt pattern. These are less than two weeks old and have less than 300 miles on them. Only selling because I got new wheels. BORA is currently 4-6 weeks out in production, get yours now from me! Asking $200 shipped USPS Priority Mail. Let me know if any questions. Thanks.

Wow! Thank you for that in-depth dissertation Professor Krump. Guess I better roll some pennies and get some control arms then!

Exactly, so I'd say a handful out of thousands and thousands is a very low percentage and can probably be chalked up to a defective part or just good old-fashioned bad luck.

Ultra Wheels?!?! Is it 1995??

Anytime bud. If you insist on aftermarket UCAs, just get the cheapest ReadyLift kit that comes with the arms. They currently don't sell them separately so that is the only way to get them. They have rubber bushings and replaceable ball joints - no need to worry about greasing the bushings with these.

Absolutely. You will deform and cup the polyurethane bushings if you grease them without loosening the bolts first. Then, you'll have to tear down the suspension to replace bushings.

Thanks! Wheels - no (that's why I got spacers, I wanted a certain stance while keeping stock wheels) Tires - yes. I'll have Ridge Grapplers eventually but these only have 1100 miles on them so I'm going to run some life off of them first.

No issues. Bilstein knows what they're doing. You don't need to spend the money on UCAs. You won't be able to access the UCA bolts to loosen them for greasing the bushings anyway with the 6112's.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true. I've grown weary of all the misinformation out there about these trucks and the damn UCAs. Stop drinking the Cognito Kool-Aid. How many upper ball joint failures on these trucks can you find on the internet? - only a couple out of the thousands and thousands that are lifted. Again, the control arms can only move so much as they are bound on the upper and lower end of their range of motion. The ball joints and axles are still operating within this travel envelope no matter where the static starting position may be; i.e. lifted trucks are going to have a static position toward "more droop" to achieve the lift, but all the components are still within the normal engineered range of motion as designed by GM. GM even adds longer axles to compensate for the increased distance from the diff to wheel hub. There is no need to swap the UCAs because they are still within range. Jack up your truck and take a front wheel off. The suspension is going to droop to the stop. This is going to be the case whether the truck is lifted or not. The factory GM upper ball joint is designed to operate within the range.

Stance is perfect with the 1-1/4" spacers. Tire tread is dead even with the edge of the fender.

"The rest of the world sees"?? My studs stick out past the face of the spacer by about 3/8". Luckily for me, the stock wheels have pockets between the lug holes that are plenty deep enough to accept that. Too bad for the rest of the world.

Nope, positive.
