    I am going to purchase new Kings 2.5 coil overs and maxtrac spindles to give my taco a nice 4in lift. should i replace the UCA's as well or keep the stock? if so any recommendations? I assume ones with a uniball but I am trying to stay within a $300-$500 range.

    Don't the Spindles provide 4" of lift?

    The Coilovers would then be kept at a minimum preload which means your suspension geometry would basically still be stock. So no need for UCAs.

    No.

    Are the Kings extended travel? If so, you'll want an upper arm that can accommodate. If not, upper arms won't benefit you much.

    You might want to consider a balljoint arm if you live in a road salt region.

    JBA has UCAs that meet your price range.

    If you need UCAs JBA is a good option.

    SPC/LR ones are the way to go for the price. Really allows you to get the proper allignment after getting all the new parts installed.

    I have heard some people have trouble getting the alignment just right with the Uniball arms... Unless you buy both upper and lower arms... but would love to hear what people have been able to do with their uniballs as far as alignment goes, post shock install.
