UCA and wheel/tire questions

Hi everyone,

Hoping to get some input regarding future UCA purchase.

My stock ones are bad, going on 210k miles. Time to get some replacements.

So here's the low down:
I need new UCA's now, but I plan on doing more suspension upgrades later. My plans are to upgrade shocks for greater articulation when off roading. Probably do a 1" lift in the front to level out the truck, but keep the back stock. But I won't be doing this for another few months, probably towards the end of the year.
With that in mind, which UCA's would you all recommend?

Also (and I'm sure this has been best in the head plenty of times) I'll probably upgrade wheels and tires around the same time as the shocks upgrade. Since I'm only planning on lifting the front by an inch to level it out, is there a guide somewhere where I can see max tire/wheel size and offset combos on almost stock height with and without a BMC?

Thank you in advance for everyone's help!

 

If you are just planning on lifting the the front 1 inch I would just get some OEM style ones from rock auto (quality ones) or just buy a new ball joints and bushings to rebuild your current ones.

 

Realistically, just find some OEM UCAs, or like bigmace said, replace the ball joints in your current ones. No sense in spending $700+ for UCAs that are made for 2.5-3.0"+ lifts

Moog has replacement UCAs with UBJs for about $91 a piece, if you don't want to replace the UBJ in your stock ones:

I have these from Rock Auto, along with the LBJs: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7998844&cc=1444362&pt=10070&jsn=1026

 

What exactly is bad with your UCA and how do you know it's bad?

My Sequoia is at 208k miles and UCA seems fine
