    Lotsa shit.
    Okay, so I am running a spacer lift up front and I am looking for something other than oem uca's that are not insanely expensive. Please do not give me any b.s. about the spacer lift. I know it is cheap but it does me well. Please any input and help to point me in the right direction or if you have something you would be willing to sell I would definitely consider whatever you have. Thank you

    What's your budget? There's a difference between $75 and $400.

    I just installed some Built Right Uniball UCAs and I think they are great. I think they are about $470 or so delivered. Not sure if that is a budget buster for you but I like them.

    Light Racing UCA is the closest probably in price.

    Why are you getting UCAs if you don't mind me asking?

    I have ones that came with my spacer lift kit, but the bushings are worn out and they are not able to be replaced because they have a raised lip on the bushings. Also,they will not sell just the bushings because they are some shitty ebay store. So I'm just looking for something that will work with a 3 inch spacer and when I get a better lift I will want to buy better ones anyways, so just going to bite the bullet and do it now.

    Better to do it right from the get go. Otherwise, you'll end up spending 2x the amount.

    Exactly. Plus twice the effort. You get new A-arms you will definitely need alignment. Cry once, buy once!

    Since I see this going nowhere and you have next to nothing budget. Here's an idea. Go to ebay and search for the cheapest UCA's to go with your shitty spacer lift!

    You obviously haven't read far enough in the thread. Otherwise, you would see that OP says he's going to buy a quality pair of UCA's. Don't show up and be a smartass. Truth be known, you probably started out with a spacer lift as well.
