hey, new member here. i have a 2017 silverado 4wd and looking to get the BDS 6" lift and their UCA' s are a little pricey. is it ok to use stock UCA since it come with bigger knuckles?

You can use your stock uca's.

Stock UCA’s are just fine. I’ve had several 5-7” lift kits through the years and BDS and Zone top the list with BDS having a slight edge due to warranty support...although I haven’t had to use it

Ive got a 6 inch BDS lift. Stock uca, not going to replace them until they need replacing. 40,000 km and the truck rides awesome. I had the add a leaf but ended up taking it out and putting air bags in. I needed to get a new strut from bds BC the shop that installed the lift put an impact on the strut nut when tightening it and shared the top off, BDS over night shipped a replacement no charge or questions asked, just needed to see pictures. Great service, awesome lift. Id get another BDS or zone lift without thinking.

Great looking truck man. What wheel/tire setup you running? Happen to have any side profile shots?
