OK,
I'm looking at replacing the front struts in another 10,000......Gotta let the wife get comfortable again since I just got new wheels & tires. However, I'm starting to research new struts and shocks. I'd like to go with coilovers cause they look bada$$, but they are pricey.
What I wanted to know is if it's worth it to buy coilovers, if you stay with the OEM UCA's???
Didn't want to spend $1500-$1600 to replace both parts......My truck's not a road queen, it does plenty of off-raod duty at the ranch, but no high speed jumps(YET) like a Raptor would in the Baja.....

Also, if I did go with coilovers and the OEM UCA's, would it still be $800 better than say the OEM length Bilstein 5100 leveling struts with the ProComp bracket extensions? What has been the consensus?

Last time I talked to Greg/PRG he said the SAW's (Sway-aways) were on deep back order. I have the internal rez 2.5" radflos and love them. I too have the pro comp bracket lift and the ride is pretty nice! I'm never happy so I am returning the internal rez radflos and having greg extend them with a longer shock... also new PRG UCA cause taxes were good to me
