    Hey yall. I've got the Eibach stage 2r on my truck and I'm really enjoying it. Currently on stock UCAs and am thinking about upgrading them in the future.

    I don't really need them. My truck's leveled. Plan on going skinny 33's after my current set wears out (255/85/16) with SCS f5's.

    There's a trillion UCAs out there but I can't seem to find any info on Eibachs. It appears to be a good product and offers a lot of the adjustability that makes for a nice ride. Anyone have these or can provide some insight?

    ^Link you posted is for 1st gens. Link to 2nd/3rd gen part: https://eibach.com/product/5.25470K?epsid=1920

    They're repackaged SPCs, note the 5.25470K part number: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ty-products-company-25470-vs-mevotech.697268/

    They'll have the same questionable inner pivot durability as SPCs.

    Try AFE UCAs: https://afepower.com/afe-power-460-72t001-g-afe-control-upper-control-arms#

    They have camber/caster adjustment similar to SPCs, with urethane bushings. The ball joint is a commonly available Moog part, inexpensive to replace.

    Definitely staying away from SPC from everything I've read. Thanks for that info and good catch on the link.

    The price point on those is a bit steep for where I'm trying to be, though they look like a great product. Probably should've included the price point intially but I'd like to be in the $500-~$800 dollar range. Any suggestions? I've read alot about JBA but also found the Dirt Kings to be similar to the ones you've shared.

    ^If you need the adjustability (to cut less when fitting larger tires), it's either the AFE or the more expensive billet aluminum Dobinson.
    Other resellers may have better prices:
    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/afe-460-72t001-g
    https://fidanza.com/afe-control-05-20-tacoma-upper-control-arms-gunmetal-grey-460-72t001-g/

    The Dirt Kings look good for non-adjustable arms.

    Bilstein also sells a set at a similar price: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=13009569&cc=1431544&pt=10401&jsn=491

    With a level lift , as you said you’re not even close to needing a uca. What adjustable benefit would it have if the current alignment is optimal. Too much cash, then go ahead .

    ^Yeah cash is the root of all evil. That's why I quickly spend it when I'm burdened with too much.
