    Have a 2018 4dlb offload and getting ready for the installation of the lift and having a hard time picking out some UCA's.
    Have some Fox ext RR for the front and running 285/17 KO2's on some Ray 10's.
    Most of my use other then on the road will be mostly hunting situations with gravel washboard roads,trails,mud and small rocky trails.Nothing overly crazy.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated-If someone has new in the box at a deal let me know.
    Thanks

    I really like my SPC light racing UCAs. I do the same stuff and even tow a boat sometimes. The cool part about the SPCs is that they have a grease zirc on top for easy lubrication.

    I’ll second the SPC, even though I have the Total Chaos. SPC’s require less maintenance and are awesome for the stuff you’ll be doing.

    I talked for about 25 minutes with one of the tech guys at ToyTecLifts about the pros and cons of both. He runs SPC’s on his truck, which is his daily driver. I decided to go with Total Chaos for mine, as it’s not my daily, and pretty much every time I get in it, we’re going off tarmac somewhere. I’ve had the TC’s for over 5K miles so far, and I’m still loving them.

    But that’s just my two cents.

    I got camburg, they fixed the design so you can run a bunch of caster. I have about 7 degrees of caster with mine. They also have a bigger uniball than total chaos.

    I have camburgs and like them, just have to keep the balls lube, but everytime i go to my old school alignment shop they suggest SPC.

    I did a stock camber setting. If you run bigger tires 32”+ it’s probably better to go 2-3 degrees camber. Get it done at a shop that knows what they are doing

    How much lift did you get out of your Fox shocks and how stiff are they?

    295s, I was going to run 285s but since I got so much caster, I sized up.

    Curious why you ran wider vs skinnier? I have a friend who is a sponsored overander and he says skinnier (255) is better than wider for off-roading unless you are running a ton of weight. Just wondering...
