    Going to be purchasing a new set of UCA’s this week to throw on when I do my 3” lift. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices; SPC, Camburg, or Dirt King. Anyone have an opinion on which one to get? A lot of people like SPC I’ve read.. (I’d get Total Chaos but not wanting to spend all that right now as I want to do other mods)

    Really? What are the pros of either one in your opinion? Another good pro is that they cost less than SPC’s

    Go JBA Lifetime Warranty, replace ball joints in the driveway without removing the UCA. High Caster is already built into them.

    I hear ya, scuff em up with a red scotchbrite pad. Tape off what you don't want painted then choose your color. My next set will be repainted Yamaha Blue then Epoxy Clear Coated.

    How many different threads do you need to start to ask the same UCA question? Is this 3 or 4 now?

    The correct answer is JBA. It’s always been jba for you. We all know it. You need to realize it.

    I’m most likely going with SPC since they’ve fixed Their issues. I like JBA just the red is blah!!! Does anyone know when I upgrade my tires bigger will I rub on the UCA’s? It all depends on backspacing I’ve read but not sure. Not a master on that stuff

    JBA UCA's are available in a raw steel finish.

    JBA UCA's don't squeak like all of them that have uniballs do.

    JBA UCA's dont require a ridiculous amount of maintenance.

    And since you love red, here you go.

    I put a 100k on a set of Camburg’s. The whole time chasing the squeaky Uniballs. I just put a pair of billet icons with the delta joint on. I liked the idea of being able to frequently lube them. They’re nice and quiet too
