Doesn't that much of a lift put the upper control arm at an extremely downward angle?

I want to do springs in the front also but don't completely understand the implications of changing that angle of the upper control arm.

Would it limit travel? Will it cause excessive wear?

I know one can install a new upper control arm to correct the new angle but the it sits to close to the tire and now you need new wheels with a different offset.


You don't need to replace UCA with Geisers you'll still be within within an acceptable angle

I am EXTREMELY curious about your RoadMaster experience. I am planning to pull a trailer overlanding around the country.
The Roadmaster seemed to fit the bill but not a lot of reviews from people with actual off road trucks. Curious if you've run is hard off road with them?
The mounting style makes it seem a little sketchy if you were to jump it. Say one post where a guy had them come undone where they hook onto the rear shackle. Just wondering if you've put the truck through it's paces with the Roadmasters installed and if you've towed with them?

I have not jumped my truck with it, I would probably recommend getting aftermarket leafs if you plan on jumping. It raised the back end and made it feeler stiffer, which I liked.

Have you towed? Have you done any off roading at all? My main concern is having it vibrate or jar loose.

Do you know how much height you got out of the Roadmaster setup? This is the first time I've heard of it, looks interesting.
