UCA & ball joint issues with level

[KRAS]

I keep seeing in other groups folks having ball joint & UCA failures from doing a level- most seem to be with 2.5” or greater. I’m running the 2” zone upper puck system with no issues as of yet. I’m curious if anyone here has had issues- specifically with similar setups?

Little over five thousand miles with a Moto-fab 2.5 upper spacer.

Knock on wood no problem.

Just under 10k on a Motofab 2" top puck up front and a 1.5" on the rear.  No issues.

Still under 1000 miles with the motofab 2.5" upper front strut spacer but no issues as of yet. Ride feels like stock. I also did the 2" rear blocks. Thinking of upgrading to a 3" front kit. At that point i will upgrade the UCAs.

I’m at 3.5” (2” shock lift and 1.5” spacer) in the front and 3” rear. Initially I ran the original UCAs but the angles were ridiculous. I swapped in some RC UCAs and angles look good now. Rides very close to stock & looks terrific. All incredible easy and quick to install. There’s a thread around here somewhere that talks about the UCA failures. Made me nervous enough to swap the new ones in.

I'm running the SST kit on my AT4 and so glad that the kit came with new UCA.  If you are running more than 2" then you should purchase new UCA.
