Maybe I missed it, but do you think you'll end up getting the UCA from GOAT as well? From their articles, it sounds like they recommend it for the 2"/1" kit.

Actually I'm getting upper control arms from 74 weld. Best engineering yet on this product.

When lifted off the ground at full droop do your uca rest on your springs?Pretty easy install at home.

No, not even close. Went off-roading I frequently go to full droop. Also known as airborne

When you were installing did you notice wear on the boot covering the shock shaft from the coils rubbing? I installed the same level last week and had holes on the shock boot when I went to install it.

How? I have a 2" puck and mine rests on the coils. Any pics of it off the ground. I'd like to see this.No, not even close. Went off-roading I frequently go to full droop. Also known as airborne

I don't understand why this is any different than a puck lift. It's the same type of lift. It creates more down travel

Well they have similar appearance of result.I don't understand why this is any different than a puck lift. It's the same type of lift. It creates more down travel
Obviously there's no spring compression by adding overall length to the strut. You get to keep the internal bypass where it is designed to be when adding the strut spacer as compared to the preload collar. As you can see in the pictures, I'm also running hydraulic bump stops in the front with limit straps. The limit straps aren't there to correct any geometry just to take the hard top out away at full extension.
Adding hydraulic bump stops in the rear in the next week.
Waiting for the fox 3.2 live valve shocks to be released and those will end up replacing the setup I currently have.

So you must be seeing some kind of impact marks on your coils? Also a point of impact on the upper control arm?

When I have the truck jacked up and them at full droop the uca is on the coils. So you would have to have this two. Beings we're both 2" spacer lift. Which makes more droop. It is even on their site. Which has me thinking I'm needing longer uca. But nobody makes them.
I didn't say anything about compression. I went puck lift because it retains the stock ride. Eibach coils and perch would make it ride like

Did you rotate your spring? Look at my posts I have wear marks on the shock boot from them rubbing one side of the shock boot. I can see if the springs were rotated you would then rub on the control arm at full droop.When I have the truck jacked up and them at full droop the uca is on the coils.

I rotated them 180 degrees that the directions said to do. Yes

That puts the bulge of the spring outward making it hit the control arm at full droop. I had a fab tech level which required springs to be rotated and the control arm rested on the coil. Switched it to a bajasrule level and factory spring orientation and have 0 issues with the spring hitting at full droop. The issues I had was before any level was installed there was wear on the shock boot from the coil spring. Look at my recent thread I posted about it yesterday.
