Control arms

Hello I was wondering I need a little more clearance on the upper control arms but do I have to change both the top and the bottom one or can I just change the upper control arms I have a 2006 Tacoma

 

You can change just the upper but if you are running big tires on a small really positive offset wheel you could still have some clearance issues. Getting a UCA with a uniball will give you the most clearance possible.

 

I’m running 35s on a 4 inch lift

 

I run spc UCAS no complaints

 

What’s the longest upper arm I get without changing the bottom arm

 

You aren't getting them any longer they are the same stock length. They change caster and are more compact at the ball joint area for clearance.

Why do you want to go longer?

 

Cause my upper arm is right there all most touching my strut

 

Almost touching your strut when the wheels are on the ground or when you have the truck jacked up and the wheels are off the ground (full droop)?

 

On the ground

 

The aftermarket UCAs give more space around the strut too. Just get some Camburgs, Total Choas, etc it'll be fine. You can't go longer without going longer lowers otherwise you jack the geometry all up.

 

Uniballs require more maintenance than a ball joint and they wear out quicker than a ball joint. Don't worry about keeping track of uniball maintenance because they'll squeak like hell when they need more grease.

 

Ok that’s probably what i do than thanks

 

4 inch lift with a drop bracket?

Or are you maxing out the stock suspension? Which would explain why the upper control arms are almost touching the coil at ride height.
