I know this threads a bit old, but I got a question for some people about this kit... I know theres mixed reviews but its still an option. I'm wondering what the benefits of going with their upper control arm/ball joint combo is? I know you dont have to cut out the bump stop, but is there any other advantage because it doesnt look adjustable at all. TIA

 

 

I'd like to see where the "mixed reviews" are on this kit.

 

 

There are very good advantages to going with their UCA's. The advantages I had with them were:

 

1) They rub the coil on the strut everytime the axle droops all the way down

2) The front end never aligns properly

3) The bushings wear out and squeak like hell

 

 

 

I'm just curious if anyone here with a negative opinion of this kit had the newest version? I keep seeing a lot of reviews from people that had the older one that really hated it but I'm wondering if the upgrades helped? And dont worry, I did the level with the 1.25" BL.

 

 

 

Heard that none of the problems were addressed and its just the same piece of crap that they squeezed an extra .5" out of.

Yes, guy on gmfullsize who we tried to talk out of it still tried it and took it off after less than a week. It is junk. There should be a thread dedicated to how shitty this lift is and warn people away from it. I'm tires of repeating myself.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
