UMI performance lift bars/ultimate arms

Garagebuilt01 · November 14th, 2011, 04:33 PM

Well I contacted Ryan@ UMI and discussed the traction issues I've been having and decided I wanted to go with lift bars and the "ultimate arm" fully adjustable uppers. I also ordered the tq plates. I finally got them on and I got my pinion angle set to negative 1.5. Man what a difference!! I'm running prostars with 275/50/15 Nitto 555r drag radials. 1st used to be useless and half of second but now I'm hooking in first. The stock bushings were shot ( which im sure had a lot todo with it) but Im now running solid bushings. The noise difference wasn't as bad as I thought. I can't really notice it. The ride is def stiffer but not bad! Really happy with this setup! Thanks UMI

As long as you had the brackets welded to the axle you shouldn't have much noise.
If you haven't done it yet, install torque box reinforcements AND weld the seams in the torque boxes. I did that and have eliminated almost all the extra noise people claim to hear with lift bars.
UMI is a great company and whenever I decide to get UCA's I'm going with them.

I have upper and lower reinforcements and yes they are welded and I didn't drive my car till the lift brackets were welded..
