Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Meh, with the right alignment you can get by. My 33,s rub the plastics and barley ever hit the cab mounts. But I'm also running a 10.5 wide tire which helps.

 

Yeah I forgot about the 3rd gens, edited my comment above to clarify.

 

My experience is this. I've had no problems with JBA uca's, 2 1/2 years now.
Ray 10s
No rubbing running with 275/75/17
Switch to 285/70/17 and got rubbing.
Did the CMC, no rub.
Every vehicle can be different.

 

Every vehicle is a little different but with good lower control arms that push your wheels forward and out just a bit, you can avoid rubbing even at full stuff. Then again, who's got money and time for that...

I still have stock lowers with a fairly decent alignment and the only rubbing I do is against plastics unless I'm cranked completely to the right and in reverse going uphill. Then the right one ever so slightly rub something but that's also the damaged LCA so...

You would know

 

3", 35's and yes

 

Do tell-what does this mean? Total Chaos check. Upper control Arm's check. Icon take offs??? Mileage? Uniball service??? Price??? @jstemp is never going to let me live these questions down...

 

From the research I've done on fitting 35's SPC UCA's are the way to go. I've had mine for over 4 years and they've been on two trucks with no issues. The greaseable sealed ball joints are great for our environment.

This is just my opinion and I haven't used any other UCA's

 

Hey, if you get a good deal go for it!

 

Yep... and the more I know the more I think I passed up a good deal...

 

There will be more good deals

 

One thing to keep in mind: they are not completely sealed, even though SPC claims this in their marketing. I learned that while researching for my own upgrades. I can't find the relevant thread/document but SPC's own instructions somewhere say not to power wash them directly at the lower BJ boot area where it mounts to the knuckle to prevent water ingress. Due to that same design they need more frequent greasing to wash out contaminants (especially after water submersions) to prevent premature failure. Just sharing so everyone knows and can keep their joints happy.

That's a smokin deal, always loved those TRD wheels. You could resell them individually here on TW for more.

 

Good thing I have access to grease at work

 

Sorry, spotty service up here at the cabin.

TC UCAs (non-heimed). They could use a uniball refresh (sold by tc) and a bushing replacement (also sold by tc)

icon stage 4 front and rear shocks. I’ll pull them apart and get them revalved by a guy up here. Eibach springs are going to be your best bet.

price is wholly negotiable

 

I looked into these before I bought my SPC's and it looked like they were still the original welded tube design and not the forged arm. Not sure if that still true or not.
