    Is it the uca design or the ball joints that are so different? When I compare my two rtucks side by side the ucas actually look quite similar.

    So, I am new to the suspension game and have my truck lifted 3 inches. I just got my alignment done and it is within spec but was wondering if I should purchase UCA. I don't mind spending the money if it is going to better my ride. I drive mainly highway and ranch roads every once in awhile

    lol Jesus that's horrible. It will raise your caster. Depending on which brand you go with you can fix your camber at the same time(assuming that's also horrible).

    IMG_6968.jpg I was thinking of going with the total chaos uca. Is it better to get more positive caster. Just trying to get a better idea

    Your camber is a little high and your caster is a little low, but it's not THAT bad.

    Did you get new UCA's, if so what did it bring your caster/camber to

    LR arms and I set the caster and camber exactly where I wanted it. I'm around 3.5 caster with 0 camber.
