Gotcha! It's all starting to come together!

No issues with the CVs at 3.2"?

Any disclaimers to not use 4wd auto? 

Thanks for all the info guys.

I'm pretty sure I've made up my mind to get the Bilstein kit with camburg UCAs, 

 

 

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.

Good to know. I never thought about that

The UCA bolts have a zerk fitting facing the exterior. Pardon my ignorance, is it recommended to loosen the UCA bolts prior to greasing them?

Looks like the zerk is on top.

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.

I never knew that. I appreciate your input.

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.
