On that note. Does anyone know how a UCA could affect the ride height?

Wow, that's really strange.... Do you have any speculations on how that could be??? The only way I could imagine that would be if the tension inside the bushings is stronger.

Were they harder to push down onto the knuckle than the OEM ones are???

Knuckle? Would that be the knuckle on the spindle?

Yea, the knuckle on the spindle, I meant to say spindle instead of knuckle, I just got in a hurry.

Here's a pic from clubtitan. Maybe the thing on the left (balljoint i think) is bigger on the RC. And they're not bull$hiting about 3"

That's what I was wondering. I would have to put my kit on but I'm waiting untill I get my Billy's 5100. But then my results will be tainted b/c of them adding .5" set at factory. O well. If it does add 3" I'll be surprised and happy at the same time.

It does look like the ball joint sit lower then the factory one.

Now that makes sense.... That BallJoint does look like it could give an extra 1".

You think our flares could also make it lower than a Titan without flares? Could be even taller than you think

**adkl1** · 09-28-2009, 05:35 PM

I guess a little..

SATXTITAN · 09-28-2009, 05:42 PM

So that measurement was after the alignment and 35"s? So in actuallity the RC kit gave you 2"-2 1/4" of lift? Did I get my numbers correct?

Well somebody would have to measure there stock pro 4x but i believe i started out at 38" and ended up at 41 1/8 before the 35's and now with the 35's im at 42" which would be correct because going from 33's to 35's will gain about 1" more ground clearance.. So with that math it would be gaining 3" from the lift and 1" from the tires, 38" to 42" = 4" total lift from the ground ^...

SATXTITAN · 09-28-2009, 06:00 PM

^ duh, I some how factored in an extra 2" of ground clearance with the 35"s instead of 1". Going to install the RC kit and Bilsteins this Friday so I'll post the results.

mmtitan · 09-28-2009, 06:20 PM

adkl1, your truck really has a great stance and is decently lifted for just a level kit and pro-4x coilovers. I hope I can get close to that with the RC and adjustable shocks
