    I would be a little leery to get these arms since so many people have been having issues with them. I've had them for around 10 months without a problem, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But anyway, that's totally up to you!

    Plus $20 shipped at least for me..

    Dave, go with Headstrong like we discussed :D

    $375.99 and no cost to ship.

    The issues were with their "first gen" designs..those have since been fixed. I forgot what year but it was either 2010 or 2011.

    That was happening with the old style bushings in particular because they would allow the UCA bolt to seize to the bushing sleeve causing the rotational forces to be transfered directly to the arms themselves

    Thanks guys for the links. Good price for FatBob's but with shipping Headstrong beats them. The Ebay store could be a good idea. Thanks all, damn I wish they made another choice for us here in the salty, wintery states.

    If you go this route call SPC and confirm they will warranty your UCAs. Most of these Ebay/Amazon comps don't buy direct and typically violate the pricing guidlines set by the manufacturer (MAP).

    Basically you save a few bucks but should something go wrong you’re screwed. I really hate Ebay/Amazon for this reason and they do absolutely nothing to regulate the sellers from violating rules. As for the comps doing this, most are a total joke.

    I recommend Headstrong to anyone I see. Not only are their prices and shipping great, but ive never gotten better customer service. Had a mix up when I ordered my 5100's and I heard from them about every day until it was fixed, and the CEO even emailed me to make sure it was all settled.

    Cant go wrong with them

    I'll also recommend Headstrong. (bought my UCA's from them as well)
    Great price and exceptional service. My truck is "done" for now,.. but when I need more stuff, they'll be hearing from me again.

    From your location wouldn't it be easier and cheaper (shipping/duty/exchange rate) to go pick a set up in Cochrane?

    @mAtTyG04
    At the time of purchase, our dollar was near par and purchasing through Headstrong saved me over $150.00 (shipping included). The folks from Headstrong also took the time to re-package the arms so they would fit in a USPS flat rate box (the great customer service I mentioned).

    Also, it looks like the OP is in the US,.. so I don't think the exchange rate is going to be an issue?

    Good point. Just trying to help fellow canucker save a few bucks. I know Cochrane saved me a bunch on my bumper when I looked at ordering from the US. With our dollar where it is now $375us is close to $475 can. One thing bout living here is the difficulty to get good parts at good prices. I'm currently looking at sliders, LR UCA's, RTT, and bed reck from them. Not cheap (prolly around 4g). That being said it cheaper than me ordering online.

    LR UCS's are used. The ball joint assemblies are brand new, still in the box from SPC. I'm going to list them in the 2nd gen marketplace forum soon. I just thought I would throw the offer out here. You're welcome to PM for more detail
