I’m also have also a full Asfir skids and a Warn steel Elite bumper with Evo 10s and I also have about the same rake. Said that per my little mechanical opinion and based on the fact that I was told that during front alignment, that original UCA borderline allowed to get in spec. If the visual effect of the rake is important for you to install front level and a a set of after market UCA go for it, but it would not going to improve MPG, handling and off road performance ( my 2 c$).
Thanks for your input. I'm also looking for more ground clearance. Wondering if I'll need to upgrade the UCA's when adding a 1" level kit to my existing Ford Performance 2" lift coilovers and will my m190 axles still be long enough..

Will 2dr vs 4dr make a difference in addition to 2.3 vs 2.7?

Longtime lurker of this thread, I've got a 2dr 2.7 OBX that I'm thinking of lifting with this FP kit as it seems to be the perfect set of user conditions for me.

I drove a '24 2dr BD w/ SAS at Moab Off-roadeo almost two weeks ago, and that fully calmed my fears of increased (to an excessive amount) road noise and handling weirdness.

My only lasting concern is the UCAs and whether I need to switch those out with after-market ones. I figure whichever shop installs the FP kit will have some knowledge of whether UCAs are required to keep the geometries in check.
The FP Bilstein coilovers are tuned with only the 2 vs 4 dr consideration. There is no need to upgrade the UCAs. I have found the rear trackbar relocation bracket was beneficial, though not necessary.

Different owners have experienced varying lift heights depending on their build. For those with a heavy front end (armor, bumper, winch) or has additional weight in the rear, then one should consider the 6100 Bilstein shock which you can compensate for the different weight via clip settings.

Looking for some more reviews from those with a 4D 2.7 - the previous comment about the front sagging/less lift than advertised with an otherwise stock 2.7 has me a lil concerned whether the stance will be bothersome for me, if I go this route.

Getting more serious about purchase in the near future and want to make sure I'm happy with the results.
4 door 2.7L got .75 lift in the front 1.75 rear with the Ford Performance lift kit…

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any before/after pictures? That is definitely not what they advertised. Are you happy with them?

Wishing I had more lift for the front but they ride great on the road and so much better off road also…

Plus with the 6100s you can buy the heaviest Sasquatch springs available, to keep a nice OEM+ ride.

Same wheels/tires I have as well so that gives me a really good idea. Thanks a lot! Looks better than I pictured given the measurements.
