    So i need new ball joints and found these aftermarket uca's that say they are 100% bolt on, has anyone else installed these and know if they are in fact bolt on and go. I like the idea of what they are supposed to help with my lift but the rest of the aftermarket uca's i found are out of my price range.

    definitely dont cheap out on UCAs, these are a pretty important part of lift kits, and turning.

    most good UCAs cost around 500-600. the Icon tubulars and Total Chaos's are pretty popular.

    I actually have for sale a set of used Camburg Ball Joint type UCA's with 2 new in box replacement Ball Joints and 2 new UCA Bolts and nuts. I just replaced my arms with the JBA High Caster arms. One of the Ball Joints is blown on the Camburgs, hence why they come with 2 new Ball Joints. They cost me 600.00 new about 20,000 miles ago. I have a Mall Krawling Princess and have never wheeled so they are not trashed at all.
