    Yes sir
    I would think he had a bit of a rougher ride with the KM2's because they're a mud tire compared to the AT's which are an all terrain. Most guys go with Light Racing UCA's because they don't break the bank and they're still good quality. Camburg's should also work just fine, they're just a step up from the LR UCA's. Top end would be something like total chaos and will run you around $700-$800 if I remember correctly.

    I've read on TW that a few members Light Racing UCA's broke on them. I don't have any first hand experience with any Light Racing products but, from what I've read...that's enough for me to pass them up and go with Camburg or Total Chaos.
    Acerwin, if you're looking for an UCA that's not too expensive...you might want to look into Camburg Ball Joint UCA's...that's what I have on my truck. I guess it comes down to how much you're willing to spend and how you drive your truck. If you do end up going with the Camburg Ball Joint UCA's though, I would recommend getting the Ball Joint Cover Kit to go with it.

    Here is a look at all the mentioned UCA's:

    You should have you should have the cover kit to keep debris out of the UCA Cup :D

    Here is what the UCA looks like without the Cover on it.

    The Cap just covers that up and keeps it clean and happy =0)

    How you liking the 886's with your steel bumper? Is the ride harsh? Did the front end want to sag over time?

    Current: BHLM, plasti dip badges/bumper, Satoshi homer taco style grille, custom TRD, pack rack Marshall fab, window tint,interior paint job, ome lift,wheels spacer, white light interior, retrofit headlights.

    With my 886 lift it started out just over 3", now it settled to 2.5". Mine are also only a few months old now. But ride was pretty harsh in the beginning. Now it's a little better than stock.

    I'm rolling aluminum with winch and full armor. Ride is just fine. I might have 2.5" of lift on a good day.

    It's stiff but not in a shitty way. With the swaybar off it handles really nice IMO.

    Yeah I'm going to remove my swaybar also. Well every time I get on here it makes my decision so much damn harder!

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Way more articulation.

    So the disadvantage is the front end dipping while cornering, right?
