    I recently bought a 2005 Tacoma access cab. It had a lift on it when I bought it and have been reading here on options for the UCA. I am still undecided. I live in Colorado and so far am torn between LR UCA and Camburg UCA. I live in a town with sub par roads and lots of off roading areas and every truck Ive had seem to give me ball joint issues (might be a heavy foot through the dips in town). Any tips on what you all think is most durable option for a UCA would be greatly appreciated.

    Look into JBA as well you can change the Ball Joints while the UCA's are still on the vehicle. @Blackout14 can give you some good info.

    Amazing info. How do I know how much lift they are each good for?

    Some of my biggest problems seems I have nearly 0 down travel and feels like I get beat to death when I drive. I recently replaced the shocks thinking that would help (bilstein adjustable 5100's) found they helped a little but still no down travel seems to be my biggest issue right now.

    Im not 100% sure on the lift. it had lift blocks in the front that I replaced/removed when I put in the adjustable shocks. Seems like its 3 or 3.5" of lift. Im not 100% sure how to tell. So far I really like the JBA option.
