    I have that same set up since Nov 08. I have driven on everything from pavment, sand, to salted snowy roads. Have not squeaked yet. And this is just my opinion, but the Total Chaos UCAs are far better than the light racing ones.

    cool, I really would rather get the TC UCA's from everything I've read but that squeek thing had me second guessing. That's it then, TC UCA's, Icon coilovers and rear resi shocks with 1.5" deavers AAL. Then for some 32's with some real tread.

    They may be better but, 700 bones for UCAs is a bit much.:eek: Personally I am going to give the LR ones a shot, especially after reading the post in the vendor section about issues that have been fixed since the first batch went out. I mean $450 versus $650 - $700, I'll take my chances. I also like the fact that the ball joint is sealed. I don't need to add to the maintenance of the truck having an exposed ball joint. I will say though the original poster should be happy with the setup he picked.

    :cheers:

    Uniballs dont need maintinance. They dont need to be "sealed", as they are a dry joint. Ball joints need to be sealed as they are packed in grease. ;)
