    Hello All,

    Looking to get some UCA’s for the Tundra. I know the Camburg, TCs, and Icons are in favour for most. I came across these Element Billet UCA’s and all the specs looks to compare to the bigger brands.

    Anyone have any luck running these UCA’s? I don’t see much out there yet but the quality looks good!

    Thank you!

    Alot of them
    Expensive for an UCA set. SPC, JBA, and Total Chaos are some of the most popular choices for most of us in the forum.

    I ended up getting them. They had a better deal on them from the ORW website.

    Curious, do the heim joints come pre-set or do you have to make adjustments for alignment?

    Good question, they come preset to factory specs. They are ready to install out of the box.

    Hopefully alignment goes well. That will be the most important thing.

    We shall see, I’m installing them today, in a bit actually. I’m currently experiencing some issues with my King coilovers and the spring rubbing the strut tube. So it may be awhile before I can get alignment if I can’t get this spring to stop rubbing. :(:annoyed:

    Got the alignment done. The alignment guy said it was pretty easy to get aligned. Made no adjustments to the uppers as requested. I even upgraded the Inner / outer tie rods before the alignment hence how far off it was before. Easy Install and so far solid! Additionally, King is sending brand new springs!! Their customer service is great. Just had to pay shipping.

    Are you referring to like what caster I may run in the future? Or tires?

    Oh, just put a new set on actually. I’m running some 37x13.5x22’s. Unfortunately, the last owner had the 22’s installed and when it was time to buy tires of course inflation had taken over. So I may swap the rims in the long term. Tho, she doesn’t look too bad. She’s definitely not a mall crawler
