They have two types of UCA's. I have the adjustable ones and yes they work with stock beadlocks, hence the main reason I went with these. You can see them at Snoball if you like.

And your front is limited by the stock core support/inner fender well area. Most people for want to cut the entire front structure for more up travel. So stock with or plus 2 up travel is limited in the same place. So all the "extra travel" is at full droop unless you raise the ride height for a little more up and most customers don't want there trucks taller. I'd like to talk about the way bypass shocks work, they are stages so they are softer at full droop all the way down then they are at bump, bottomed out. They progressively get more stiff as they bottom out. We have tuned a lot of vehicles and what I'm getting out is if one truck has a plus 2 inch kit, and one has a stock kit. And they both have the same amount of up travel from ride height even the most experienced driver won't notice an additional 2 inches of down travel as the shocks are very soft at full extension.


The lt kits definitely do have more compression travel than stock. My tires tuck right up inside +2 glassworks fenders by two inches, which sucks for the wheel liners, and washer fluid tank. In most cases the rad support is either removed or clearanced.
The benefit is the ability to tune for compliance at ride height and still have lots of headroom for the big hits.
I get what you're saying about short course vs desert truck.

Yes on 37" at full bump our kit allows for the tire to rub the washer fluid tank. A glassworks Fender well is impossible on pass side, unless tank is moved up & fender well is trimmed and re worked.

How did you get the speed you were going on the video? That's cool! I'm judging that the suspension is working good considering you were hauling ass over the whoops.

Looks like it works very well for a "street truck" for lack of terms. Anxious to hear the road manners. Love how you were steering in to the deeper whoops and looked level the whole way. Well done gentlemen

The Garmin Virb has built in Gps, it shows speed, elevation, pitch , yaw, g's... its deff way better than my old go pro

Looks like it handles very well. Have you run that section prior to upgrading? Just curious what type of speeds you would run through there with stock suspension or basic 3.0 upgrades. Clearly not as fast but wondering how big of a leap ahead this setup is.

i live in Houston and this was tested in Vegas, so i had not run this before. I can tell you that in my previous truck ( RPG UCA, Tie rods, Bumpstops, National springs, Fox 3.0's tuned by RPG) it could have approached those speeds on the easiest flattest parts for a few seconds at best but not on the rough stuff. It would have been a constant struggle for control and i would have been pushing the truck past its limits making for a very dangerous situation. This setup was very easy to keep driving at those speeds and the only reason i didnt go any faster was my lack of knowledge of the roads we were driving and having to drive it 1500 miles afterwards to get home.
