    Any quality UCA's will work fine. Freedom Off Road are least expensive and work very well. Icon Tubular Delta Joints work very well.

    But do they have to be designed for a 6" lift?

    I kept my stock uac's . Just recently replaced my stock upper and lower ball joints. Man major improvement that was . Here I was thinking my lower ball joints were the worst. No way it was my upper ball joints that were going . On top of that I went ahead and replaced both hub assemblies also . So silky smooth going down the highway now. I have the rough country 6" lift with adjustable coils and rc adjustable reservoirs all around . There is a you tuber by the name of tinkerers adventure. Here's the link to his video explaining uac and why Toyota has the best uac design. https://youtu.be/InQnp42pfts

    AFAIK, Drop bracket lifts do not require an aftermarket UCA. You are basically just moving the IFS down and leaving everything else the same.
