Is this a problem - RC 1.5 level install on 2021 TB

[wepiii]

I just had the rough country 1.5 inch level installed, and this boot looks a little rough. Is this ok? Any help is appreciated!

Since you left the stock upper control arm it's over stressing your ball joint and more than likely your CV axles. Look into aftermarket UCA's that are angled specifically to prevent this issue. Some cheap ones are rough country and ready lift. If you want longterm reliability look into dirt king, icon, or baja kits.

Definitely plan on replacing the UCA’s, but was thinking it was something I could do 3-4K miles down the road with it it being an issue. Do you think that would be ok or is it something I need to do right now?

If it's just 3 to 4k miles until you swap them out you're good. Just don't do any driving that requires more articulation of the suspension and take it easier than normal on bumps.

I’d be interested to see your CV angles?  I’ve read a couple of people here with TBs and 1-1.5 level at the front experience vibration, especially in Auto mode.

With a leveling kit or any other suspension modification it's not recommended to use auto mode (this includes bigger than factory tires too). You don't want the sensors to send false information to the system and next thing you know your whole drivetrain is trashed.

I don't agree with that statement.  Bilstein doesn't sell a boatload of 5100s because transfer cases get torn up....
