    Thats what I was looking at but they all seem pretty much the same to me other than price?

    some come with a 1" uni-ball
    while others come with a 1 1/8" uni-ball


    just something to inquire of... if it matters to ya
    the assumption would be the larger, the stronger.

    for these light weight trucks...
    I'd think the 1" uni would hold up fine.

    ^ All-Pro being the 1" and likely the lowest purchase cost for a uni/UCA
    * UCA that have zerk fittings on the bushing ends are a nice addition

    I have Camburg and they have served me well. Strong, smooth, zerked, rubber bushings.

    I'm sure they're all good.

    Awesome, $500 is hard to beat for uniball uca's. Especially with free shipping! :thumbsup:

    I won't be getting a pair until I upgrade my suspension next year, my upper ball joints are only 3 months old.

    i need to find the pic, but when i had them side by side, all pro one is stronger as it uses a larger bolt, so the misalignment spacer is larger. so less amount of misalignment on the all pro compared to the camburg

    because you have less travel in the uniball so there for less travel available in the UCA. so with one arm, say you run out of down travel at 13" with the allpro, because the extra travel in the camburg you can get an extra inch or so. (numbers mad up but you get the point lol)

    ohh found it.
    i took this a few months ago.
    allpro on the left and camburg on the right.

    Both uses 4130 chromoly.
    Camburg is MIG welded using 1" Aurora (1.25" on 2nd gen)
    AP is TIG welded using 1" FK (1.25" on 2nd gen)

    Those not AP's misalignment spacers. I don't know of any companies that use zinc plated spacers.
