Hey yall, I had a question for anyone who has the Eibach pro lifts stage one lift kit that’s just loaded struts and shocks. This goes for any lift kit now that I think about it, but did you get UCAs or any other kind of components in addition to the lift? I am looking to lift my truck but am skeptical about the rough country lifts and not ready to commit to a $2,000+ lift kit. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance

You don't have to. I believe Eibach has replied to people in the past and said it works with stock components. I have the Eibach kit and bought UCAs only because I was doing the suspension at 100k and wanted them.

I have Eibach Pro Lift S1 and I didn't have to get UCA...my alignment pro didn't say anything about running out of adjustment...although, I'm guessing some are likely maxed out...

you definitely don't need them as Eibach has confirmed this a few times, but UCA's are definitely worth getting if you're wanting to off road at all but if she's just a road princess then id skip it.

Also confirming, my offroad shop installed, did the alignment and confirmed all is well, don't need new UCAs. While I thinks its settled a tad, the standard setup gave me 3" lift. I also added Icon leaf set in the rear. I've really enjoyed this upgrade on the street, and all across Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Washington off road trails.

I was always told that more than 2.5" lift would need UCAs, not because of alignment, but because of the awkward angles and stress on the ball joints.
