Should I wait for UCA's?
I just received my bilsteins 5100's with OME 885 coils. I also bought a 1/4 in. Top out spacer for the front as well for a ~3.25 inch lift. I won't be able to get new UCA's for a couple months. Would it be safe to install the lift with the stock UCA's and drive it for a couple months or should I wait until I have the new UCA's?

if you have the means, why wait? with that amount of lift it will be difficult for an alignment tech to give you enough caster for the steering to not feel twitchy or have it require a lot of input at speed. if you can make the investment, i would do it

You can do it but your alignment will be way off until you upgrade the UCA's. You'll just be eating up your tires but a few months shouldn't hurt anything too bad.

I would go with a lower setting on the 5100's maybe even leave the spacers off until you get the new UCA's, your going to have to align it again anyway. 3 months with a bad alignment could ruin tires if you drive a normal amount of miles?

Put everything in now, spend the extra money at Firestone and get lifetime alignment, then you can align as much as you want!
