    Here are they installed on my taco with 3" lift.
    Install was a breeze :)
    Love the look and how they perform so far.

    Probably the best budget friendly UCA out there!

    Man, they do look pretty good! I hope they end up being a hidden gem type of product.

    We’re all excited for performance reports! At least I am, I suppose I can’t speak for everybody here.


    Also, I used to live Greer and worked in Greenville! I worked at Yard House off Woodruff and Greenfield’s Bagels on Verdae!

    This guy looks like he’s got the RC UCAs on his truck.
    They look pretty slick!

    Ive had Total Chaos, Dirt King, and OME (currently). Only one I wouldn't do again is the TC. Not because they aren't good, moreso that i'm too lazy to keep up with the required maintenance.

    I did the same spc to JD fab. Only wish I'd have done the .25 vs the .75 as i do rub a bit now.

    Old-style SPC control arms packaged in Mevotech boxes have served me well. 3 years of wheeling and no squeaks and no play.



    Their adjustability lets me run skinny 35" tires without a CMC, which is unheard of.

    A bunch of us have had premature failures on the x-axis bushings and ball joints. It seems that overall SPC is having some quality control issues. If you get a good set they are one of the best options out there for adjustability. I personally didn't want to have to do a yearly uca replacement.

    After 100 000 kms I went threw 2 ball joints and the bushing were shot and this is with just driving bush roads and easy offroading no rock crawling or anything. So I had enough and new arms costed me only about 250 more and i didn't have to dick around pressing bushing out and what not
