I had CST spindles, Fox 2.0 and 1 CB coilover spacer. My alignment guy told me that my camber was almost maxed out. Now I have removed the CST spindles and just kept the coilover and CB spacer. The truck looks like it needs more camber now. I look at the bolts on the LCA and the front one looks like its turned all th way. The rear one has about 1/8 more adjustment. Do you think I should go ahead and get the UCA or will it align? The Fox 2.0 give you 2" of lift and the CB spacers another 1/2". I dont see why at 2.5" one bolt is maxed out and the other also maxed out.

LCA camber and caster bolts
I would find another alignment shop, with 2.5" you should be fine with stock UCA's. CST spindles want effect stock alignment. When I first started I had CST spindle with 3" spacer and still got a good alignment. You just have to find a shop that is willing to spend a little time getting it right.
when you lift the truck and get a proper alignment, you will push the cams almost all the way to the edge of adujstability. Most trucks needs UCAs to correct the geometry. Some trucks with mild lifts can get away with stock UCAs.
But since you are at the edge of adjustment, it is possible to tweak something to where you cant align. I just did this to my truck. Best I can do is -1.0 camber on the passenger side. I had the frame and spindles inspected and the frame is 1/4" off on the bad corner. Spindles are straight. Guess what? the frame is well within factory spec. If I had a stock suspension, I would be able to align it no problem.
Im not saying your frame is tweaked, Im just saying you need to be open to other possibilities. Tweaked spindle, tweaked frame, tweaked coil bucket, all of these can cause you to not be able to align when lifted. I would do the following:
Buy nothing and get another alignment. If you are still not good, report back on how bad the numbers are and where the cam bolts are. then we can help you decide if you need UCA with or without heims.
