Hey gage! I'm sorry I believe you already answered these questions before, but I can't remember where.

Did you used front top plates, rear isolators or clevis lift?

How much inches of height do you have from center of the wheel to the fender?

Heavy Duty or medium coils and shocks?

How's the ride?? :jester: :jester:

Nice KK buddy! :D

I don't mind answering at all. Nothing added. Stock upper control arms. Heavy duty front, medium rear.

The ride is great, it gets a little better with each mile since it's only got 500 miles so far.

I still haven't taken measurements.

Also notice the sweet KK sticker my girlfriend bought me. She's a keeper.

The econo lift was very affordable.

Have you had any issues with the stock UCAs? This lift looks like the one for me and I have heard of others not getting the JBA UCAs right away; just wondering if the stocks are still holding up okay. What is the big difference with the JBA UCAs? Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong guys:
They help a bit with bringing your angles back into spec and also help with realigning the front end.

They are a great add on to get but with the OME lift even with spacers and clevis lift it doesn't throw the angles to far out of whack to be just fine running without them.

JBA UCAs are a little bit longer and also have the ball joint sitting at a better angle when lifted than what the stock ones would.
Both of those things make it easier to get it closer to good over all alignment. The ball joint not being on such a severe angle will last longer as well

If only running the say OME lift with nothing else added then you'll be fine with stock arms, start adding in clevis/top plate then you're in the range where it will be harder to get a good alignment and will wear the ball joint

Still no issues and love the lift.
