Anyone running Bilstein UCAs with their 5100 / 6112s?

There's plenty that comes up in the forum search for Bilsteins, but i've yet to find anyone posting about running the Bilstein Upper Control Arms.  Anyone actually running these things?

I've always been a fan of Bilstein shocks and ran a set of 5100s on my 2017 Sierra which I really liked (especially over the junk stock Ranchos).  I'm considering going with a 5100 or 6112 for the front end of my 2022 AT4 and would like to install a set of UCAs along with them to minimize stress on the upper ball joint, so these seem like a nice solution as they are likely to be developed along side the shocks i'm looking to install.  They appear to be of good quality, but i've seen a few things about some UCAs having clearance issues.

 

Would love to hear of anyone who has actual experience with these or has a recommendation for UCAs accompanying a level / lift.

I have this setup on my 21 with the 3.0L  6112 in the front with the Bilstein UCA and 5160 in the rear with bags. I have set it up to level the truck with the front set to the highest setting.

 

No issues so far with this setup and the ride quality is a whole magnitude better than the Rancho OEM setup. No more bouncing around after you hit a bump.

I put a link to them in the OP.  Check them out.  

Mainly wanting to make sure there's no clearance issues with the UCAs on an AT4.
