    I have a set of fox 2.0 shocks and am planning on putting 285/70/17 on my tacoma and wanted to see if anyone had any reccomendations for upper control arms that will drive well on both pavement and light off-roading. Thanks in advance

    I have this exact setup on 17" TRD PRO wheels on a 22 OR.
    I get minor rubbing with stock UCA's if that helps.
    It's only with acute turn angles and a decent amount of compression but it's annoying.
    I'm also looking to upgrade my UCA's to hopefully address this issue.

    I went with Freedom Offroad. They are cheaper than the other options because they can’t be rebuilt, only replaced. But quality wise they are fine.

    Post some pics here when you are done if you don't mind. I have been considering these and am curious to see how they work with our setup.
    Good luck.

    Did JBA UCAs on mine running about 2.5" inch lift in the front. Ran stock UCAs for about 8k miles and they were fine but i wanted to get a better caster alignent. Another plus for me is that the ball joint isnt pressed into the arm but bolted on with 4 bolts, making maintenance extremely easy. As well was greasable bushings.
