    I would double check but I called @ToyTec Lifts and they a said the SPC/Light Racing UCAs are not uniball, so you won't be able to take advantage of the extended travels.

    copy and pasted this from a past post.....

    I had the same question a while back and LR informed me they would work with EXT travel coilovers. I wanted to go with Balljoints over uniballs as we run into a lot of road grime up here.

    I found this a while back helping my decision along.

    Originally Posted by LIGHT RACING LAB
    "ToledoFJ called us and let us know this thread was flowing. Here are a few deign points on our Upper Control Arms you all might be interested in knowing:
    • Our Upper Control Arms were designed work with a wide range of coilover shocks; from the stock Toyota units to long travel aftermarket shocks similar to the Light Racing or Icon units. This includes shocks that allow for a slight increase in droop travel.
    • The increased travel was accommodated by using a ball joint with a higher range of travel. The stock Toyota ball joint has a 77° included angle (or 38.5° off centerline). Our design allows for a 90° included angle (or 45 ° off centerline. A spherical bearing (monoball) with high angularity inserts rarely has more than a 35° included angle. The angle of the ball joint plate is optimized for this increased ball joint travel.
    • The sliding off-set ball joint that we use allows for a huge range of alignment adjustment rather than designing an arm with a static off-set and relying on the Lower Control Arm cam bolts for adjustment. This means the camber of our arm can be adjusted to the stock upper control arm geometry or it can be adjusted for proper camber in a 4” lifted vehicle. The caster can also be adjusted from stock numbers up to a 4° increase in caster for better high speed stability.
    • Using a standard ball joint (instead of a monoball) and molded rubber inner pivots (instead of urethane) gives better ride quality, better longevity, lower maintenance, and quiet operation.
    • We as a company have 30 years experience designing ball joints for aftermarket and OEM use. The design and quality of the ball joints used on these arms is top notch.
    • Our arms are coated using E-coating. This is a process where the coating is electro-statically grown on the part. This is used for many OEM suspension components and gives superior corrosion protection to zinc plating, paint, or powdercoating."

    I have the JBA. Originally had the Chevy ball joints in them then upgraded when he came out with the rebuildable version. His rebuildable ball joint offers more articulation and thus more travel than the uniballs minus all the noise and maintenance of uniballs. I have about 60k miles on my arms, 2 winters in Northeast zero issues. I had SPC/LR on my last truck and they were nothing but problems failed joints, looses adjusters, cracked welds. I would never buy them again but I hear they have come a long way. I have 3" of lift with the JBA and still get 3+ degrees of caster. I could probably get closer to 4 if I wanted. Food for thought, he makes a good product at a very competitive price. You can rebuild them with off the shelf parts from any auto parts store. I highly recommend them.

    I'll buy a second set to get this done if it'll help. Shouldn't have that hard or a time getting rid of them.
