    Yes I believe they do, they are made to accommodate a 2-3” lift if I remember correctly. Don’t quote me though, what does it say on thier site?

    Think I’m going to get spc because I called them and they said I can get my wheel in the same position it is with the stock control arms and will have adjustment to move the wheel away from the cab mount. And have better ball joint clearance

    I'd do some more research on UCAs before you actually buy. There's lots of good info...

    SPC are great. Been happy with mine for over a year. The adjustability is awesome. You will read mixed reviews. Most are from older spc that had a few bad batches. They have been making adjustable control arms for decades for classic cars.

    I heard they had ball joint issues have they revised the design and are they greaseable?

    The new design is not greaseable. I think they contributed the ball joint failure to their lower seal design because it had to let excess grease out.

    Is the 0 setting on the SPC UCAS, the same as the stock control arm caster if so that will work perfectly for my application and will be able to dial in my camber from there
