yes, aftermarket ucas will hit if you have the suspension cranked way up. do they hit on evry speed bump like stock? no for the prg's. this topic has been covered several times
PRG's are after market, if you say they do not hit on every bump like stock, how are they doing that, and as to my question what will limit the suspension travel before damage could occur (if any)?yes, aftermarket ucas will hit if you have the suspension cranked way up. do they hit on evry speed bump like stock? no for the prg's. this topic has been covered several times
So the PRG's for example would allow more travel than the stock ones but they would still be used as the travel limiter?the aftermarket UCAs dont hit because of their lower profile design of round bar vs the block styling of the stock UCAs. they do have a bump stop for them so that you don't over-extend your arms and rip out the CV.
With the total ciaos UCA's or others if my alignment was just done after the spacers and cam bolts would I need to have the alignment done again or are they the same angles/size?With aftermarket arms you will not have any coilbucket contact due to their tubular design. The aftermarket uca has a bump stop attached to it so that will be the limiting factor on droop. You will not gain any travel per se as the stock shock is still a stock shock. If you want more travel than an extended coilover is needed.

When you replace a non-adjustable suspension part (like a ball joint, bushing, our struts) there would be no suspension alignment changes, so my previous question of do the aftermarket UCA's have the same alignment angles/dimensions or are they different, thus needing an alignment still stands.you will need another alignment. anytime you mess with your suspension, you should get an alignment.
Whether the parts were adjustable or not there is always a chance that an alignment will be needed or should be checked as the parts that are being replaced are usually worn and that always changes things. With the aftermarket UCA you will need an alignment as it a different component!When you replace a non-adjustable suspension part (like a ball joint, bushing, our struts) there would be no suspension alignment changes, so my previous question of do the aftermarket UCA's have the same alignment angles/dimensions or are they different, thus needing an alignment still stands.
