UCAs SPC vs Icon Delta

Newb here again and I’ve got questions!! And i hope you have answers.. or opinions at least lol!! Wondering what the advantages Icons delta joint offers over the SPC?? It’s about 170$ difference. I understand that the SPC’s can be adjusted to slightly move wheels forward in the wells to possibly allow a slightly larger wheel which might be a good sell point but is it actually feasible?? . I don’t know if the icons can be adjusted just basically maintenance free?? Any way lemme know.. pros and cons?? Are the icons worth the dough??

Thanks in advance

 

Anyone care to give feed black on the SPCs?? I’m leaning that way to save a few clams

 

Liking mine a lot.

 

It is absolutely feasible to get enough Caster from your UCAs to fit larger tires. If you're looking to do that and not have to relocate your cab mount, I'd make sure you make sure whatever uppers you get allow increased positive caster. JBA and SPC are both excellent at this, and reasonably priced.

 

SPC's are a top choice for a basic flexible UCA upgrade. price, adjustability, reliability, and low maintenance. can't go wrong with those unless you have special OR needs or something.

 

How long have you had em?? I assume you’ve had no maintenance issues

 

ah the new forged ones i see. nice!

 

Only about a month. Zero issues

Yes sir! ​

 

Probably save the 170$ and go with the SPCs.. anyone know the backspacing limitations? Can’t find em.. my wheels are at a 5”

 

The new forged arms have been great. Zero failures on the ones we have installed in our shop. Even the new ball joint is way better. I suggest SPC unless we are installing a full ICON kit.

 

We are running a special on these. PM me for a price.

 

Went with the Icon delta joints and they are very nice...
Besides the great construction the ball joint is a high angle joint that is the best cross of a standard ball joint and a uniball..
So greater range but sealed like a ball joint...
Hear nothing but good about the SPC's but thought I'd throw my 2 cents on the Icons.

 

Perhaps it is a better joint (but what do i know)

 

Guys thanks I ultimately went with the SPCs seemed like a logical choice saved 230$

 

I just want to give the guys @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc a shout for having excellent customer service and even beating Amazons price!!

 

This shop just compared them and also cut them apart to show the innards

Can’t see the video

 

not sure why he killed it.

 

I have had spcs for about the last 6 months, i'll be taking them off this spring and installing icon delta joints. They aren't great for serious off roading. I fight with mine all the time. Another thing to consider is that most alignment shops don't know shit about them, so it's always a challenge to get them aligned anywhere away from a good pro shop. Im on alignment number 5 in 6 months.

 

Ok good to know.. are they getting knocked outa alignment?? Or just having a hard time aligning in the first place?? A little late now since i already ordered them. But i don’t do anything crazy off road. I just run a few trails and dirt roads
