Going to get the Eibach Stage 2 Rs......What UCA should I get?

[brooksb]

Hey everyone I am getting the Eibach Stage 2 Rs on my truck. What UCA are you guys running with this setup? Hotshot recommended ready lift and spc forged. I cant really find many reviews on the ready lift and the spc ones I read don't hold alignment well.

Im running stock 20 inch wheels and 275 / 60 / 20.

I just picked up a set of BDS from Walmart of all places (they actually shipped from American Trucks I believe), best price I have seen, I am running Ford Performance Fox kit, set for only 1.75" of level, going to max them out and put the BDS UCA's on, try to run some 35" pizza cutters, cant give you any feedback on them yet, but if you're interested here is the link Bds 2021-2023 for Ford F150 Upper Control Arm Box Kit With Sensor 123262 - Walmart.com

First off, welcome. I put the 2.0's on mine but didn't worry about UCA's yet, so I'll definitely be interested in what others have to say.

I talked to Derrick at hotshot....I ended up ordering the ICON delta joint UCA. Ill let you all know how it goes.

I went with JBAs because the bushings and BJs are both greasable and the BJs can be replaced without a press and on the truck. I have 35x11.50 tires on stock wheels and needed 1/2” spacers and extended thread lug nuts to keep my tires from kissing the front of the UCAs at full lock.

Stock Ford, but went with the HD SPC cam/ caster bolts.

We don't need them for 2-2.5" of lift.

Aftermarket UCAs are very hit or miss for reliability.

I've had the BDS's mentioned about for about 10 months. I put them on at the same time as fox 2.5s. No issues at all they even have the bracket for the headlight sensor. The castor is like 3.5 or 4 which is really nice and it tracks super straight.

Did you have it set up with stock wheels?

Well boys everything fits perfect. The eibach system and icon UCA fit without the need for a quarter inch spacer. It rides amazing. Check out my review coming up.

Nice truck, really like the white with black accent!

Very interested in your review. Seems like there's a lot of conflicting information about whether or not upper control arms are necessary with a level left. Even if they're not necessarily required is it a best practice just to go ahead and swap them out?

a level, 2" to 2.5" you should be fine with stockers.
