    Mevotech has UCAs that are virtually identical to the SPCs and way cheaper...I don't know if they're just a rebrand or what, but I've seen a few people mention them here recently.

    SPCs have jumped in price a lot over the past couple of years

    I have 4.3 ish on my front right, my driver side is locked up at 3.8 ish because my control arm cam is frozen. still working on that. I bet you could get close to 5.5 but thats a bit extreme. The JBA's give you two degrees by default, and you can get a decent amount (2+) just by moving your cams so.

    My buddy got the Mevotech from rockauto. They were in Mevotech boxes and the arms inside where stamped SPC lol they are the EXACT same spc arms in a different box. Only difference

    Not sure if this is the correct one for the Tacoma but it popped up on a quick Google search

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...DpiueG6t-ut-JQ2cDj77FwDfsDqHDOSxoCTv4QAvD_BwE

    Looks like the SPCs with the tubular arms, they recently redesigned them with flat forged arms. I have the tubular ones though and they've held up great for the past few years.

    That's awesome, especially considering the Mevotechs are half the price.

    So, I should be fine with a little more of 4 degrees with my lift? Between 4 and 4.5 maybe?

    @DrFunker did you get zerks on your JBA's bushing area? I know he did a batch with OEM Bushings with no zerks

    Lots of sail boat fuel
    Love the philosophy here. "has tons of extra alignment"

    ...to get the same alignment numbers.

    2 years on JBAs. No issues. Work great. Love the zerks. I use my suspension hard
