    So I’ve found out my upper control arms have a major squeak. A looking to replace them. Been looking at the Bds Uppers for it. Because I want to put a level on the truck here soon. An 33s. Does anyone have recommendations for upper control arms? Trying to spend around $800 or less is better for good quality. Thanks in advance

    JBA, SPC or icon with delta joint. In that order if it were my truck.

    There are sooo many to choose from. Camburg, Ironman, JBA, SPC, Amazon special. They all have their pros and cons. If it was me, I’d get the cheap Amazon ones and put a good ball joint in it. All in about $400 for something just as good as the $1000 ones.

    You don’t need UCAs to level the truck and put on 33’s. Unless you’re putting on fat wide ones.

    You may be better to spend your money on other things and find a set of low mile UCAs someone took off from their newer truck for free or cheap.

    Is you UCA's stock now? Isn't it covered under warranty??
    Are you sure the "squeak" is coming from the Control arms? My 2021 developed a squeak at about 5K miles. Dealer tried to tell me it was the LCA.
    I did my own diagnostics and found that it was actually the front cab mounts. (Common problem in these Tacoma's) Replaced the factory rubber mounts with Poly Performance mounts and it's been solid ever since!
