to my understanding, you have to worry about the CV's binding as well.... |

i have had no ubj contact with the rusty's kit while it was installed on my jeep. there is no ubj contact now with the ome hd's either. no cv binding - never had this issue the entire time i've had the jeep lifted. the guys with the frankelift have had cv binding issues, not with rusty's... ubj will be extremely close at full droop.. when you get the springs installed be sure and check it. |

X2 on this I haven't had any issues either & I have a 3/8 clevis lift also |

yep, i run 4 conduit washers and 3 spring pads on each side, and still have had no issues with the rusty's lift. |

I'll ring in too... have 2.5" of lift, run the same kit on an 02 and now my 07. Never any issues with the UCA. Under extreme bouncing around around off road, you can here a "twang" once in a while when the UCA contacts the strut spring but no biggy at all! No issues with CV joints at all on either vehicle! |

Al's arms give you more UBJ clearance, a greasable, replaceable, beefier ball joint AND because they are longer make it a bunch easier to get your front end back into alignment specs. |
