    Will be upgrading my tires hopefully very soon to 285/75/16 and know I will be needing new UCA’s to accommodate them. I have 3 inch OME lift. Anyone who knows UCA’s able to give me some recommendations?

    I am on forest service roads and driving in the mountains up steep roads daily so good gripping tires are important. It is also my daily driver so I’m looking for something that won’t wear out super quick. I had some Cooper Discoverer ST’s that I blew through and hoping to find something with more longevity but still good crawling up a dirt road and offroad driving and just being able to get myself out of all weather all terrain.

    Thanks a lot for the help

    You'll probably need a CMC. I'd shoot for Falken Wildpeaks in 275 and keep the stock UCA's.

    JBA or SPC for uca

    cooper discoverer or Goodyear wrangler for tires

    see what you think looks cooler / priced well and buy.

    Edit: saw you already had coopers. Let me know what you end up getting

    If you want to stay with Cooper. I have and recommend the AT3 XLT in 285/75/16. Very good all around tire. And you will not need to upgrade the UCA to run them. I’m stock with them and do not touch the UCA

    Yes you would need uca with a lift. It keeps your camber and caster in the correct specs. I highly recommend icons delta joints.
