    I am trying to pin down a set of affordable set of UCAs for a mild lift that use oem ball joints but can’t seem to find any, unless I’m overlooking some fine print.

    Freedom off-road has a pair of stated oe style balljoints. Anybody have UCAs that they have put off the shelf oe balljoints in? I’d hate to have one fail down the road and have to wait on shipping from a specific manufacturer, when I could otherwise limp home with a auto parts store replacement. Thanks!

    Good to know, thanks.
    I usually carry a spare this, spare that, but more specifically i like to carry my take-offs as backups (I do a bit of mild off-roading) and was hoping i could press the old bushings and balljoints out to keep if not too worn, to keep on hand.

    I’ll just plan on buying a backup down the road, and I guess a couple lower balls for backup too. It

    If you want easy trail fixability I'd get SPCs. you don't even need to press them out, just replace the whole adjustable slide joint. LCA ball joints I wouldn't worry about unless you plan on literal months of no civilized contact.
