Bilstein UCA

Just curious, is anyone considering buying the new UCA from Bilstein? I might need to purchase some and just wondering if anyone has been able to get there hands on them or any feedback. Thanks!

 

Following.

 

I haven't seen those yet. I wonder what pricing will be like?

 

It looks like dirt king must be contracted to make these. They liked the IG post and these have the same gusset style on the arms and same poly bushings, just look to be thinner tube. I imagine they will be same price as Dirt Kings or slightly less if they are in fact smaller diameter tube.

it’s inretesting their site shows a different gusset style than the Instagram photos. Curious which is the production model.

 

Kinda looks like my cambergs with the hat (grease port cover) off.

 

Did you ever end up buying these? I'm interested in them as well and it doesn't seem like many people have tried them out yet.

I ended up going with the ome ucas. Lol

 

Reviving this thread to see if anyone else has looked into / bough these. I just learned about them and now I’m super curious.

 

I bought them.. but yet to install them.. I’ve heard nothing but good reviews.. I’m waiting to install my new wheels and tires and cmc

 

Do you have a lift already?
EDIT** nevermind I’m a dumbass and didn’t realize your prior post said it

 

I will keep you posted w my build

 

Yeah, please do. I'm curious how they will pair with the 6112/5150 setup. Thinking of going that route myself this year. I can't decide what shocks to go with though.

 

Hi all. Posting some info on the Bilstein UCA install since these are new and not much info about them. First of all, I installed the 6112's up front on 4/5 setting which added about 2" of lift. After two alignments post lift, still had poor highway handling - floaty, did not track well, easily drifting offline, kind of felt like driving a shopping cart...much to my dismay since this is a 2020 truck with 19k on it (i.e., new). Was able to get about 1.5 deg of +caster with stock UCAs after two alignments. So replaced the UCAs with the new Bilstein's. No complaints about design, seem solid with grease fittings. Offroad shop said they are well made. Adding the UCAs resulted in immediate +4 deg of caster, see spec sheet below. First impression: Drives much better, feels closer to stock, smooth steering, tracks well i.e. returns to center, doesn't feel like it wants to jet right or left at highway speed. Didn't want to pay the extra $ but I'd say it's worth it if you value decent road handling.
