Pictures!!! I wonder if the rubbing is causing the traction control to engage thinking the vibrating rub is the tires slipping...

 

Ok. I will shut the fup about the plastic. I had no idea it was rubbing that bad on the springs and your balljoint angle looks more extreme than mine. Good luck and hope the bilsteins work great for you.

 

The traction control issue is probably because the truck uses a gyroscope type sensor and other weight dustrobition factors to determine sway and since the front end is lift its taking away that rake. Therefor fooling the computer into a defense state because it thinks your losing control. But with the UCA issue, check if the strut needs to be flipped backwards to gain clearance on the components had this problem at full extension with my 06 with a 3 inch hbs kit. Go over a big enough bump and ud hear the uca slap the spring. Just kinda dealed with it till my procomp

 

I don't understand why guys take a new state of the art truck & suspension & mess it up with aftemarket junk!

 

Agreed!!

I was so reluctant to do a spacer lift in the meantime until bilstein came out with their 5100's. I know now my first feelings were correct! These things are coming off!

But I am wondering when the 5100's come out will those cause bad angles on my UCA's as well? I hear they don't because they aren't extending the factory length of the suspension but just preloading the spring for lift.

 

is that the sway bar disconnected in the first pic? and is this on both sides?

 

No it's not. Look closely you can see the connection rod.

 

I'll just keep running mine and when I go to trade it in 3 years paint everything up. While the paint is till wet if you through some dirt on there it makes it look like it was never any different. When I do trade it for a new one I will order a leveling kit when I get home with it. To me it's worth a little noise here and there to no look like paw-paw driving around!!!

 

I noticed today when the grouling noise happens my traction control icon does show up on the dash. The little car with the squirmy peel out lol.

 

I found another thing that doesn't help my situation. When I have a load in the bed (500-600 lbs.) I sag and cause more of the A-Arms to droop towards to springs. I ordered some Firestone Air Bags to help with this but still plan to remove the spacers and wait for the 5100's.

 

Same here... one of the reasons I went with a new truck was a warranty... I don't want to mess that up or spend money due to problems while under warranty beyond regular maintenance.

 

That is some unfortunate news. I love my 5100 Bilsteins, the ball joint angle isn't too bad from what stock was, well worth the money.

 

Ya i'm probably going to do the 5100's when they come out. I had the 2" AS removed yesterday and regained my travel and clearance from my coils. Sending it back to autospring for a refund. I wonder if the 5100's will give me any similar problems.

 

Sure seems like we would hear of more folks having this issue...

 

Sure seems like it! I contacted AS and asked them if they accidentally sent me a non offset kit. They replied that they do NOT make any kits without an offset. So that leaves me to believe that I probably got the wrong kit lol. Nonetheless its in the mail back to AS for a refund. So I am not totally pissed off.
