    Hello, hopefully Chris 4x4 will chime in here as the searchs I did he replied to all:D so yeah I did a search but would like to know a little more than I found. Ok so from what I found the quite a few people run the tc arms but not as much love for the camburgs. From what I can tell the camburgs have a larger uni ball 1.25 vs 1.0, will this affect anything?
    Really I just want to make sure I get the right one the first time.
    Thanks, Brent

    Either one will be fine, just get which you prefer. I've found that the Camburgs are a little noisier.

    the camburgs are a little more noisy than the TC's idk if the bigger uniball will give you any more travel b/c your lower control arm will be limiting your travel at that point.

    I jut ordered the Camburg uni-ball 1.25" UCA's. still waiting from camburg to deliver, but ive heard good things. TC's aren't bad tho. both do the same thing, but i believe the camburg 1.25" would just be little stronger.

    both UCA's are race truck style parts and they gonna make race truck noises. the uni ball and poly bushings both sqeak.

    IMO camburg makes better products than TC, and i have TC long travel

    wheelers offers both UCA's, the camburgs are cheaper and have a larger uniball (stonger)

    camburgs $639

    TC $669

    TC's.

    THe Camburg 1.25" uniball reduces spring clearance. Alot of folks have contact with the spring when off roading. Also, The TC's are much less noisey. Silent actually.

    Toytec,

    It would be nice if you could explain your LR UCA's compared to the other discussed in this thread, not just post a picture.

    I'm curious about the differences and I assume many others are as well. Thanks.

    I guess I'll start.

    1.) They have a sealed uniball correct?

    I actually don't profess to know all the differences, I just know we can't keep our UCA's on the shelf, and hear if any complaints about them.

    Was just through out a cheaper option. :)

    Thanks toytec! I like your design and am sure it's a great product but I really want to get away from the ball joint. Should have picked a set up a few years back when my truck was a daily driver, looks like they would have outlasted my stock uca's. Thanks for offering a more cost effective solution.
