You don't need new UCA unless you go 3" or more on lift.
If you don't go over, OEM UCAs are fine, but if you want to change them, as I did, stick with OEM spec. Other UCAs made for 3" or more lift will have the upper ball joint out of whack.
I installed Rough Country OEM with a 2 1/2" level, just because I wanted red. They also have them for 3 1/2" lift, in red or aluminum finish.
Also note, that a spacer that says 2 1/2" rise, will be closer to 2". I used MotoFab 2 1/2" from Amazon.

That red UCA looks great and less stress on the upper ball joint as well.

I've had the Eibach's on order from TireRack since early February for my 25 Lariat FX4. Not sure when they will show up at this point... Eibach.com is showing June ETA for orders on their site.

Due to availability and price, I'm strongly considering the Ready Lift 1.5" spacer kit as a temporary alternative to get my wheel and tires mounted on the truck until the Eibach kit is finally available.

That's too expensive for a temporary lift. Get Motofab from Amazon for a third the price.
It's 2" but doesn't matter since you will be taking them out eventually.
