New Built Right UCA's

So far I'm thrilled with these UCAs! The price was right and my ride quality increased tenfold. I would recommend them for sure. Not to mention they look great on the truck

 

@Kellan_s Pics and alignment specs? I'm looking at these rather than forking out extra cash for TC or camburgs. Also are they stainless steel cannibals?

 

I have one photo comparing the old uca with the new ones on my phone currently but I will go get some more of them here in about 20 mins and post them all. As far as alignment goes my tech told me that they got everything perfect expect for caster, which was about half a degree off. I don't notice it at all and it's still within spec just not absolutely perfect. I would imagine even with TC or camburg I would get the same results due to the lift. And yes they are a stainless steel uniball

 

Please Send Dem PICS. Looking to pull the trigger! I just got a Icon Stage 2 Lift with extended coilovers so I need UCA's! If I don't have to shell out another 200$'s for TC or camburgs Id rather not!

 

Dem PICS

 

@Kellan_s You're my boy convinced me to get these thanks!

 

Hahaha you're welcome dude!! They will be awesome with the icons no doubt! Plus saving 200 bucks is a huge benefit. I haven't gotten to take them out on any trails yet but went snowboarding all last weekend and they did fantastic through the mountain roads. I believe they perform just as well as TC or camburg.

 

whats your guys alignment numbers look like? post some up please!

 

Sorry I don't have my numbers anymore. I misplaced the spec sheet however, like I mentioned before the only thing my tech couldn't get perfect was caster which was about a half degree off. I don't notice it at all and my truck drives 100% better than with the stock UCAs.

 

I know the guy that built all of the built right arms he does some amazing tig welding, he's no longer building arms for built right he now offers arms and long travel kits through his shop Custom Tubeworks for Tacomas 96-04 5 lug 96-04 6lug and 05+ Tacoma 6lug and I believe he just made a long travel kit for the 05+ Tacoma give these guys a call they offer other kits as well 760 522 2860 tell them Chris sent you and they will get you taken care of

 

Have there been any issues of late (or at all) with the Built Rights? I saw in another thread reference to failures that "have since been corrected" (or something to that effect), but lost it, and for the life of me, can't find it now. I remember as I was reading it that the reference was meant for the LR UCA's, and not Built Rights as I've not seen a complaint anywhere on BR's, but then again I haven't been following forums for a couple years now.

I have built rights on my 2002 DC for a few years now, and they have taken a beating and performed without issue. Not even a peep out of them squeak wise. Very satisfied. But am researching and putting together parts lists as I'll be picking up a 2017 here in five months or so, and am going to start acquiring what I need now. Am also considering the JBA UCA's this time around due to the ease of being able to change out the moog joint when needed.

 

Disregard above. Found the reference to the "SPC Built right arms were breaking in the past" in the JBA UCA thread. Poster had to be referencing the Light Racing UCA's built by SPC since SPC does not manufacture the Built Right UCA's, and the Light Racing UCA's definitely had problems in the past.

 

Did you receive yours yet? How long did shipping take?

 

Has anyone ever asked to receive these without powder? I want to powder coat them myself. I think I am sold on the UCA.. do they have any warranty?

 

I'm sure you can talk with James and request a set on powder coated. As far as the warranty, I didn't ask. I know if they are faulty and I bring the truck/UCA in, they'll have no issue fixing it. I thought I remember reading somewhere they are guaranteed for life against breaking, but don't quote me

 

subd, these look like a good setup. Plus $200 in savings is always good

 

While the finish quality wasn't great, I think that the actual build quality is fantastic and they'll work wonderfully with my setup. Built Right did say they'd send me another set (on my dime of course) but honestly they're going to get knicked up anyway so it's not worth it and I probably overreacted about the finish. So if you are expecting perfection these aren't for you, otherwise they are great for the cost savings.

 

I ended up going with TC and couldn't be happier, I have done a fair share of Powder Coating myself and the finish laid down nicely. No orange peel or chips anywhere. I would defiantly recommend saving a the extra money.

 

How expensive were those allignment spacers managed to break a bottom one on install of a used set i bought. Anybody done any business with the truck shop lately really hoping i can still get that spacer.

 

Have you tried calling them? That's what I did back then. They took my money and shipped them to me.
