are UCAs needed for stage 1 icons ?
got me these bad boys Icons stage 1s


and got wider rims that stick out 17x9 with negative offset -12

so its further away from the stock UACs
is that fine are aftermarket uacs still needed for other reason than just rubbing ?

You can run up to a 3" lift with no need for UCAs. I currently run a 1" level in the front on 295s sitting on a 17x9 -38 with no issues on my TRDP

youre fine. dont max them out at 3" of lift. you'll get the best ride quality at 2" of lift. if you do decide to add uppers later, it'll be a noticeable difference for highway driving though. but for tire wear you should be just fine.

Here is my opinion on it:

I drove 30k miles with my 5100's and OME springs with OEM UCA and it was 100% fine at 2" of lift. I had Dirt King UCA on hand and finally installed them. They help you get more caster which makes it track straighter on long highway drives. Other than that I do not see any real difference in daily driving. They may gain you some strength if you rock crawl, but most of my offroading is deep mud or fast fire roads so I did not see much difference in durability.
