    im lookin at them right now and they dont look much different from stock. im in love with the camburgs and the chaos fab ones, but idk if i should just stick with the light racing ones. i know the total chaos are outta the question, but the camburg ball joint uca's are lookin good. they are probably running the same ball joint as the light racing ones, but have pretty paint and a decal.

    lol go with camburg then, they are the same price as the light racing ones too. :cool: i just thought the adjustable camber and caster would be a benefit but once you align it im sure you wont have to mess with it

    for me personally i would get the uniballs since i end up pushing my truck all the time in the desert. i would get the 1.25" camburg uniballs because those pull the most travel over every other brand. for regular offroading and even if you do push your truck you should be fine with any aftermarket UCA, and it will fix your alignment issues. im still running stock UCAs, the reason i havent upgraded is because i want to go LT and i got the spindles which kinda brings all the geometry back to stock so my alignment is proper

    well maybe ill just wait and save up a little and go with the uniballs. but the camburg's dont come with ball joints, u have to reuse the old ones and the light racing come with them. thanks for all the help man, i appreciate it, and nice truck. wish i could put pics up of mine, but i didnt take any of it. cant wait to put all my parts on it though

    Wow this is the same boat I am in haha. I too am looking for UCA's for my truck and it has come down between the Camburgs and Light Racing ones as well.

    I want something that functions well but I know what you mean about the Camburgs. They look great. However the functionality on them concerns me considering their site suggests that they are not for use with a different suspension. In saying that I have talked to two people on here that have them and they love them.

    I have heard great things about the Light Racing ones as well. The way they can adjust as rcfreak stated is something I would like since it will fix the alignment issue.

    Its a tough decision but in looking over numerous threads on here it sounds like you cant go wrong with either one. Maybe some one who has had a bad experience with one of them can share with us so we can decide lol.

    Good luck with what you choose and I am very interested to see what you go with. I think I am going with the Camburgs myself. Subbed.

    well the light racing ones adjust, but thats just one more thing that could potentially get knocked out of whack if you do some off roading. and regardless, my truck is gonna get realigned after they get put on anyways, so both are gonna fix the issue. my only hang up is what comes with a better ball joint? the camburgs are cheaper but u have to reuse the factory ball joint, while the light racing are more expensive and come with a ball joint. hmmmmmmm. decisions. i think im going with the camburgs. they look better

    my concern about lr uca is what happens when you have to change the ball joint 4 or 5 years from now and you can't get one anymore. camburg uses the stock bj so it's no problem getting a replacement. if you plan on keeping the truck that long.

    I'm in the same boat as well, 3 in lift and it drifts to the left. Even after I got a alignment...I think I like the light racings because there adjustable but it's a good point someone made about that potentially bring knocked out of adjustment. Do the LC ones use a stock type ball joint? I like the fact that camburg let's you put your own bj in because I like moog BJ's anyway since there serviceable so I'd put those in it.

    So what about the lift throws the alignment off and how does a aftermarket UCA fix that?
