    Yea longer and stronger to correct the UCA from hitting your coils at full droop. for the prices these are built well and strong, I'm sure @Blais03 will confirm they aren't small.

    Really the only bad part is that these wont last as long as a uniball but as long as you keep them grease and a good eye on them they should last a good time. enough time for them to pay for them self for sure.

    Can you rebuild these with new bushings and stay a delta joint or new ball joint?

    Great question I have no idea! I don't see why you cant. The ball joint it just held in with a locking ring and the bushing probably just need to be pressed in and out. I have heard of people being able to put a uniball in the place of the ball joint but i have never seen it.

    Too bad none of us know a ICON rep that could send us a pair to try out lol. But if your going with Icon or fox or king for suspension don't cheap out on uca. Might as well bullet proof everything if your spending the money!

    @Icon_Adrian quick question for you regarding these uca's. Would they accommodate the new icon delta joint?

    If the uniball is a standard COMH16 it should be compatible.

    No problem. No info about what type of ball joint is used. It may take a call to the manufactures to verify.

    Understood. It says on freedoms site the ball joint is replaceable, so my thinking would be they didn't reinvent the dang thing. It would Most likely be a fit.

    Gunna have to order these as i just did 887s and need some UCAs now. No way i can justify 500$ for SPCs or more for that matter. These look like there pretty damn good for the money and do what is needed of them.
