    True. I once to a coil to court and it still refused to settle.

    So what UCA kit is best for someone with a 3"+ spacer lift that wants to keep it on to stop the UCA from hitting the coil. Turning the coil will not work in my case. And i really want to keep the truck height i have now.

    Look at JBA for UCAs. Guys in the desert love their uniballs, but alot of east coast guys don't run them.

    They're stainless uniballs. You'll have to clean n lube more often in winter. Not really a daunting task at all.

    JBA is the best you get for the price,if you live where snow is,just coat the joints every years simple.

    I believe the Total Chaos UCAs have this issue where they touch the coil at full droop. The fix for it is to turn the coil so that there's no contact when at full droop, and that should keep your UCA from hitting the coil at any point of travel.

    We'd love to get you setup with a set of TOTAL CHAOS Upper Control Arms. These are designed for lifted applications and allow you to get back into factory alignment specs with 2.5-3" of lift.

    Don't let the uniball scare you away :). TOTAL CHAOS uses 100% stainless steel uniballs which offer much more corrosion resistance compared to chrome uniballs that other manufacturers use. Keeping the uniball clean and properly lubricated will go a long way. We have many customers in the rust belt running UCAs, LCAs, and even full Long Travel Systems!

    Contact us if you have any questions!
