Total Chaos uca?

My ball joints have to be replaced and instead of stock I was looking at the total chaos units. Can these be used with a leveling kit to get rid of the severe angles of the balljoints or is that not what they are made for? Now on their website it says they can be used with different brands of coilovers to get 2" of lift. Would that be the max lift you could use with a leveling kit or would it be ok to use a 2.5 or even a 3" kit? And is it the same as the camburg uca's because with there kit you have to use a rim with a 4.75" bs? Or can i use the stock rim? I just cant see spending all that money on the stock uca to have it wear out again cause of the leveling kit.

They can be used with a leveling kit but you shouldn't be using anything over a 2.5" anyways. Thats where your severe angles are coming from.

Im also curious about the wheel backspace for clearance. This is something I would not mind doing in the future, but no so sure they would clear my tires with OEM wheels. Not wanting to run a spacer.

the total chaos and camburg uca's are made to fix extreme angles so even with a 3" level you should be fine with one versus a factory uca

I believe total chaos you can use stock wheels. Do not go over 2.5" of level on these trucks, you still have other components like lower bn and cvs to worry about

If you already have the leveling kit on now chances are whatever tire fits now is what's gonna fit with the tc control arm and leveling kit.

In reference to the OP, this is directly from their site, does this only apply to setups using shocks w/reservoir or does this also apply to the wheel and tire:

Aftermarket wheels required to avoid the tire contacting the reservoir hose or wheel spacers if larger tires are installed on factory wheels. 4.5" or less backspacing required on all wheels to avoid contact.
EDIT: I do see pics on their site of trucks running OEM wheels, not sure if there is a spacer though.
