    Being close to your tire can only be fixed by spacers or different wheels. Not the lift or UCAs. What size are the tires? I stuck with 265s so I wouldn't have any issues.

    I might try the 884s and get a spacer just in case it's not what I want. 2.5" is the most I want, but id like to see it settle to somewhere between 2-2.25"

    I have 265s as well but they are M/Ts so that could make a difference but the drive home there was no issues and i'll keep my eyes peeled on them.

    It just struck me as odd that it is so close to the tire.

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    In the market myself. Not sure if I want to go uni-ball or ball-joint. Been spying the threads for awhile.

    I've only seen one TW member who snapped a weld on those. No idea how hard he was wheeling.

    And I was just reading a thread the other day of a TW-er who had to replace the bushings. Again, no idea how bad he was beating on them and how long they were installed.

    Links for other companies I've seen a lot of guys running:

    I have the lr and love them. Super solid. Makes the stock ones laughable when you compare them side by side.

    Thank you sir!!
    Thanks for all of the info I will for sure read up a bit more and look at my options! :)
    Because of the cold weather? I was thinking the same thing, isn't the uni-ball on uni-ball UCA's exposed to the elements?

    It's not the weather, it's the road salt. One of the companies just came out with a "capped" design.

    Any brand of UCA will get the job done for moderate off roading.
