    Like what do you mean "a good deal"?

    Like "fell off a truck" good deal, or "anyone have any sales our coupons" type deal.

    Google is usually pretty useful for that, but you can also just lurk around the vendor's section and see what they have.

    Man SPCs have really gone up in price since I bought mine 2.5 years ago...got mine in a group buy for $425 brand new. Now they look like they're around $600.

    Have you looked at JBAs? They get good reviews and run about $450. Probably what I'll be getting in the near future.

    If I were looking for UCAs right now I'd go with JBAs instead, sometimes kind of wish I had to begin with...I like the SPCs but those red JBAs would look good on my truck lol

    If I go to the trouble of taking them off just to paint them, I'm gonna have to hire @BartMaster1234 to go all out and sandblast/powdercoat them like he did to his lol

    Every alignment shop I go to gives me hell about them. I dinally found a shop that figured it out and have it right. They are suppose to be easier to align but I guess the techs dont want to look at the instructions I bring with me.

    Yeah the first time I went to Firestone with my SPC's I naively brought in the SPC spec sheet and handed it to the tech, he looked at it like "uhh OK buddy". I didn't know any better at the time that most of them don't bother doing anything special with alignments, they just put it up on the machine and let the computer tell them what to do (stock numbers basically).

    Finally found a local offroad based shop that knows SPCs really well and also does alignments, so I just go there now. I still have the Firestone lifetime package but I don't use it.
