Recommend UCA please

Picked up a lightly used set of fox 2.5's. I now read new UCA's are required. I'm struggling to pick one. Was leaning towards SPC. I'm not a hard core wheeler and am targeting an inch lift with 265/70/17 tires. What would you suggest? (2020 Sport) Thanks!

 

Total Chaos

 

SPC's will be more than sufficient.

 

Myself and @CowboyTaco went with these. For reasons on his post.

Edit: Fox owns BDS

 

Ooops, didn't mean to post this in this section.

 

If you're only lifting one inch why would you need new ucas?

 

It is just that Fox info I read said they were required.

 

Ohhhh pretty!! Didn't realize the price on the SPC's jumped that much. No longer seems to be as much as a value/bang for your buck option as they used to be, that definitely changes things!

 

JBA HD's here (normal JBA high casters would be fine for your purposes). I like this design over uniballs. Quieter and more articulation and can easily source a replacement bj in a pinch as it uses a 1 ton gm bj. Was able to get 4 degrees of caster without issues and everything else perfectly in spec.

SPC can be a pain in the ass to align and easily upset if they don't get it 100% perfect. The solid upper arms are more rigid and take the fear of upsetting a sliding upper bj out of the equation.

 

Damn spc damn near $300 more than i paid for them like 3 years ago

 

Here's a "complete" list

Personally, I'd stick with poly or rubber bushings with a ball joint. As others have said, JBA and SPC are good options. However, there are a bunch of other manufacturer's that may be cheaper. My list linked above is MSRP and most UCA's can be obtained much cheaper than shown there.

 

@MTgirl Can you move this thread to the proper 3rd gen section?

 

Are you 100% sure on the part number of the shocks? If not we can confirm that with a quick measurement on those coilovers for you.

 

Yes:

Really enjoy my SPCs

So do you think I can get away without new UCA's for now since I'm only targeting 1" lift (for now)?

 

No. It's more about the droop travel you gain with the longer shocks, not about ride height

 

Thanks
