The consensus of the hoard is that uca's are required to maintain correct alignment angles after even a moderate lift. Chose to disregard that advice at your own peril.
I have OME springs/struts. Medium. No UCA's. It feels squirrelly on the highway which is why I'm putting it back in the air, and putting new UCA's on.

My alignment is perfect, and I track perfectly fine at 70 mph. But lord have mercy if I have to dodge road debris quickly. Squirrelly IMO means those instances where dodging is more dangerous than ramming. Can't describe it other than tremendous roll and plunge. My thinking is the angles of the stock UCA's. Never had this problem stock at all.

I should have done this at the same time, that's my experience brother.
