    I have the TC - love them. But I have no experience with the others. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of these.

    Also well played Baja.

    Y'all don't make anything for first gens :boink::pout:

    I have Camburgs, they sqeak a bit, but they're awesome. Don't know if i'd consider there to be a ride quality difference, I added 700lbs springs to my coilovers at the same time so i'm not sure.. seem to be getting good travel though for stock lowers.

    I have Camburg's and my lifted alignment came out perfect to spec. No squeaks, but I also bought the lube to prevent that.

    can anyone explain why the OP would want a bigger uniball? is bigger better? (thats what she said?)

    I own Total Chaos uppers, zero issues. I can't comment on alignment specs, but I have been told that some arms align better than others, no figures given to determine which one did what though. thanks in advance as I would like to know which people prefer and why. good luck with your choice OP, I +1 for Chaos.

    The TC(and ICON) use a 1" uniball where as the Camburg use a 1.25" uniball. with the same size bolt you can get more misalignment out of the larger uniball. now, do you need more? i really dont know lol but with the fact that you can get a little more why not.

    you can not go wrong with ICON, TC or Camburg all three make awesome products.

    Most popular seems to be total chaos but you can't go wrong with either.

    I have the TC ones as well and my brother will be putting a set of UCAs on soon. Just wondering why you recommend Dirt King - if I need to push him that way for some reason I will.

    I like the looks of the Dirt King arms better and the lowers to match would be pretty badass.

    They're all overkill for MOST people who have them. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

    The quality/fab is killer, fit was perfect and alignment was dead on. I hate comparing them to the TC (Because they are great) but putting them side by side you can see the craftsmanship and quality between them(Dirt King hands down). This is just My Opinion from personally Installing them both, the Dirt King UCA and also as @Justinlhc said the Dirt King Lowers Are Burly AF.

    I also have the Camburg UCA'so. Alignment was spot on after words but they do squeak alot. Picked up the Tri-Flow lube and after a hard day of wheeling they squeak again. I have to really clean they out and oil them up alot.
