    Good morning,

    I finally after three years and 60k miles paid my Taco off and decided to put a lift on her.
    I went with OME 885 coils and Dakar leaf pack, 90000 sport nitro all around.
    I bought this kit along with the SPC uca from wheelers off road.

    Last fryday morning was the day to put it on.

    I ran into an issue with the UCA's right off the bat. I figured I'd get the front done while my friend did the back end.

    I bent the fender well, forked the joint loose removed the through bolt . All went like clockwork up until installing the new uca. I greased and slid the new bushings into place went to put the new control arm in and it seemed to narrow to get on the outside of the frame area that the bolt goes through.
    I actually had to push the metal sleeve out of the bushings out a little to even get the arm over the the nipples on each side where the bolt goes through. Fed the bolt through and realized these must be the wrong UCA's. there was not enough thread on the bolt to tighten it down. The metal sleeves were sticking out of the rubber bushings on both outsides about 1/4 inch.
    Even though I told them exactly what I have. 2015 dclb sport I think I ended up with the wrong UCA's.
    I ended up finishing the lift instal without the uca install and all went well.
    It actually alighted into spec and new shoes are on.

    Has anyone else ran into this issue with SPC control arms?
    I'll be calling them tomorrow and calling wheelers to see if they have seen or ran into this issue.
    Has anyone on here found this issue?

    I did do some searches but came up with nothing.

    Seems like Wheelers would know this. I called to order instead of online to try to ensure proper product.

    That is correct. They sent the wrong ones. Contacting wheelers now.
