    Oh no I'm well aware this is for 1st gens. No way they aren't offering uniball?! I wonder why. Well... if possible I would push for them to redesign the plans to replace LBJ's with uni's. It would be better that way, or hell even pffer the option. You guys definitely deserve some beefy stock length arms. Hell your generation trucks have been out and proven much longer than the 2nd gens. (Obviously). :)

    It's a very good point. But I guess trac has some type of solution to this, we will just have to see.

    "offered to come up with a solution to run a uniball" (sight unseen) in response to some Joe on the net does not mean "has a solution". Time will definitely tell.

    Didn't mean to say they had a solution even though that's what I said. My bad.

    Steve from dirt designs has uniballs on his lowers for his LT kit for our trucks. Pretty wicked design.

    Yeah, but it's a vertical uniball. Yes it works and yes it's a good design for his kit. But I'll let everyone do their own research on when to use vertical and when to use horizontal uniballs since I'm just some asshole on the Internet.

    Pick me, pick me!


    What's wrong with a horizontal uniball? I want to learn from only the most knowledgeable of internet assholes! Does the travel of the uniball limit steering? That's the first thing that comes to my uneducated mind. Seems like pertinent information for this thread....

    Think how a uniball is seated. Now imagine the forces pu on the wheel as your moving. Usually forwards and back. Well the unibal is weaker if the forces are acting against the cup of the uniball. Make sense?
