    For what it’s worth, these are exact replicas of the All Pro UCA.

    The AP uses the only 1.25” unibal upper which needs a larger cup to rest in. This cup can make spring contact easier. Personally, I have made made contact with mine but only as max droop adjusting the coil over collar. A little less jack and pressure on the tires pulls the UCA off the coils rough to spin it passed the contact.

    Could be wrong part (wrong truck year, looking at spindle/through bolt), uniball/coil contact, or alignment techs suck at alignments.

    My guess is wrong year/wrong part.


    Here’s my AP UCAs for reference. Same color paint and red bushings. Dead giveaway it’s an All Pro knockoff, but looking at the uniball/spindle/bolt/tower/mudguards/wheelwell of the arms stock photo you have, they sold you the wrong year part fraudulently and refuse to refund.

    Send them my way - a fellow 1st gen from MA. That is, of course, if they refuse a refund. I'll cover shipping and some :)

    I think you'll be fine with the Icon UCAs. I have that setup, although you have the beefier springs. After spending all that dough on the coilovers, I'm surprised you tried to save a few pennies on the UCA.

    What are you running in the rear?

    For reference, no banging, no real alignment issue:

    I believe they sent the wrong parts and they will not help at all.the guy is a jerk. If I only lift the truck a 1/2 inch they clear everything, but still hit the springs at full droop. I would think the U C A's should be longer and off to one side to be rite. The arms I received are the same in the length and offset one inch.

    Unbelievable man. Was looking for a set of UCA and these caught my eyes - I'll have to penny up and buy the real deals then.

    Just to be clear all aftermarket UCA’s hit the spring at full droop, it is very common that you have to rotate the spring so that the uniball cup falls into a gap in the spring.
