    I'm ready to replace my factory uca's. What are the opinions on which of these are the better way to go or is there another one that beats both. I'm not worried about a budget. I want to get the best product. Ready go

    I'd say between those two, pick a color/shape. Same FK balls in both, both have poly bushings and SS hardware. I am going to surrender my Camburgs for the DK heimed this month for the purpose of solid mounting my lowers.

    With heimed uppers you can adjust the camber and caster from the UCA as well as the LCA if you have eccentrics still. If you solid mount the lowers, you need the heimed uppers to adjust the camber/caster. Heims will transmit more road vibration than a poly bushing.

    Our heimed upper control arms let you further adjust the camber / caster that what is allowed in the lower. Many people will solid mount the lower control arm since cam bolts are not the most ideal set up to have when the vehicle is being used off road since they can move around and throw out the alignment. The heims in the upper control arms once set are fixed and will not allow the vehicle to be thrown out of alignment.

    Here is a link to our website with more info and pictures on our Tacoma heimed upper control arms.
