    Well how are you suppose to get a 3" lift without a spacer if can't crank them up and have a good ride? I want to get rid of my hockey puck for some King coilovers but I've kinda been hearing the same thing. Some say get a longer spring, but to me, that seems like the same as adding preload to get the extra lift. Either way, you're compressing the spring inside of the coilover shock. I might be wrong though.

    SPC swapped out my old style UBJs for these fancy new ones as well. So far, they're awesome.

    I thought they were referring to the ball joint itself?

    I have no idea as I was talking about the whole set of arms themselves, " Oh Well, it's all good."

    And you are right brother and they are actually 20.00 cheaper on the ball joints, although I think there is a shipping charge from Wheeler's on those so might break about even.

    Yeah.. Not sure about $20 worth. I think maybe $10. Probably both around the same from two great vendors, so you don't lose either way

    I didn't see the post about the ball joints at first. When SPC introduces a new product they offer their dealers introductory pricing. We have since sold through the stock pile of ball joints that we purchased under that introductory price which means the ball joints are all subject to the current pricing structure.

    All of our prices do include free shipping to at least the lower 48 States!
    The SPC uca's (along with many other arms) and ball joints ship for free to all 50 States too! :bananadance:

    I'm in the process of rebuilding mine now, finished removing bushings, OMG is that a pain in the ass.i nicked the arm in 2 spots cutting out the bushing and had to weld back in , now I have to die grind smooth:angrygirl:
    I sure hope you looked at those bushings, as that is truly what has been going out on these arms.
    Your ball joint appears to have failed, because there was no grease, [so ya that was a fucked up design], . I have the same no zerk, ball joint, but I would spray white lithium grease up into boot now and then, 90,000 miles on my ball joint and still fine[but replacing]bushings failed. When I say failed, I mean wore out,90.000 miles is ok, normal were and tear in my book
