    Good afternoon Fam,

    Looking to purchase UCA's here shortly. I live in Florida (lots of rain) and am about to install my lift but cannot decide on uca's. I have decided that I want balljoint over uniball for ease of maintance and the fact that im just a weekend warrior. I am looking at dirt king tubular balljoint, jba, and spc. I have seen plenty of feedback on the spc and jba but not alot on the dirt kings. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! These will go on along with king 2.5 extended front/rear, icon rxt pack, and duro bumps for front/rear.

    Or....do i quit being a pussy and splurge on icon with delta joint....help pls.

    Thank you!

    go to it! get ready for the spring!

    just noticed folks are still plugging questions to Marie on the SPC GB thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/feeler-light-racing-uca-group-buy.443439/page-11#post-22672450

    maybe shoot her a PM and see what kind of pricing is happening, maybe GB level?

    Going with the dirt king tubular ball joint. I was going to go JBA but with 285 in my wheels offset they wont clear the control arms. These are still moog style not sure they are they chevy ball joint the jba's use. Heard too many negatives on the spc even they allow you to run a much larger tire with less cutting.

    Currently on 265, going 285 on pro sema wheels at +4 offset. Will purchase the Konig counterseer type x in the next few months and they are only a -10. Need a -12 to clear arms. :( ...oh yeah and i hate red, would have to powdercoat black...haha

    I have the dirt king bushing UCA on a 285/75/16 -12mm offset scs Ray 10 wheels and get pretty good clearance for the most part. The UCA are beefy as hell and never rub the tires but I do get some rubbing when in full lock in reverse. Otherwise think you’ll be happy with them
