I did this with my truck and it worked out just fine.

I have the McGaughy 6.5, Fox 2.0 adjustable Coilovers and the icon uca.

should have no issues with doing it. I'm contemplating doing the same much later down the line of the warranty. Should be no issues at all as the control arm limitations are not in place due to the drop frame of the lift. so, you shouldstill have the same <3" limit. my question would be more about the CV axles and their ability to move more than the UCA issues.

Yes. I'm pretty sure you can but I'm not comfortable cranking mine any more. If I decide I want more lift later I might do a body lift.

That's what I did. Easy 10.5". Lol. Been trying to talk David into one. His truck would be so sick with a BL and 37's

Just finalizing how I'm getting extra lift in the rear then I have fox 2.0s and camburg uca's ready to go for my truck. Almost identical setup as posted above. Been wanting to do this since last year and finally got around to ordering parts. Thinking I'll be running deaver minis or super lift leafs in the rear to avoid a huge lift block.
