    What exactly does an aftermarket UCA do? And do they all do the same thing?

    Same crap everyone else got
    I would like to know how these are working for people also. The other cheap option is the freedom offroad ones (big thread somwhere) but those have rubber bushings that can't be greased. These TC ones have poly bushing with zerk fittings and also a greaseable ball joint so seems like a no brainer to go this route. Just wonder why they aren't a more popular option for the price.

    A lot of people think tuff country and rought country are the same. It's mainly a name thing.

    And I am not saying that to say they are junk, the benefit to JBA's and SPC Light Racing UCA's is the Ball Joints can be replaced without removing the UCA.

    5100's @2.5 and add a leaf. 255/80R17 Cooper ST Maxx.
    So learned the hard way a super easy way to be able to seat the boot on the ball joint. Which by the way is one of the biggest complaints I found on suspension connection. I used the twist cap of my 5 gallon gas can. I placed it over the boot and lightly taped on the cap with a hammer. It took about 2 minutes to seat them. I tried for like 2 hours to force them in with no luck. I will give a better review when I install them on monday since I will be out of town this weekend.

    Just finished installing them took about 2 hours by myself. Only issue I had was that the washers provided for the inner bushings did not fit so I just send it. Truck drivers so much better already even without the alignment. Have that scheduled for Friday.
