    Adam, I don’t know anything about SPC’s. IMO, they’re all better than stock, that’s for sure.

    FWIW, I feel the Zone’s are sturdier than the SPC’s BUT that’s just my opinion. If you like SPC’s, go for it I say!

    Are your tires wearing uneven due to alignment being off??

    Next time you talk to him ask him where they're made and if they're made in America.

    This is where I'm on the fence about these... SPC UCAs (which I'm really leaning too) are adjustable and greasable which i like...ZONE UCAs look n built solid and greasable BUT not adjustable

    I've gone through the UCA debate for the last 2 months. I pulled the trigger on these. Just my own 2 cents from my own research. The zones were attractive too, but I also prefer tube over welded plate.

    http://jbaoffroad.com/toyota/tundra/jba-hd-upper-a-arms-for-lifted-toyota-tundra.html

    Bang for the buck:
    -Greaseable everything.
    -Easily replaceable, regularly stocked ball joint.
    -Awesome articulation from a ball joint setup, didn't want uniball (daily driver).

    Not bashing the Zones in any way, they're a few bucks cheaper. But that was also my justification for these, they were only a few bucks more.

    They’re adjustable for caster and camber, what other adjustments do you need??

    Hey I found a dealer that will sell me the 2007+ SPCs for $450 shipped. Should I get the ZONE or rhe SPCS for the same price??
    Think I'm going w the SPCs.

    Why is that? Wonder if the MOOG is better than the SPC joint.

    IMO, the MOOG is a better choice. Besides the fact the the Zones are stronger. Just my opinion. You can’t go wrong with either. But I trust the BDS name more than the SPC name.

    I’m looking at these, I have a 2012 Rock Warrior with a 3/1 lift/level with stock 17 inch RW wheels and soon will be on 35/12.50 tires. As far as the wheel offset, Will I run into any issues with the tire hitting the UCA?

    I believe they do but I'd call and verify. Beefy UCA's by the way. Not adjustable but built in +3 caster and any decent alignment guy can dial them in.

    Old thread, BUT I need. UCA for my lift. Thinking the zones. Doing a 6112/5160 kit. Front set to 1.9” with 2cb driver shims and 1 passenger. For ~2.4” lift. The. CB +3 shackle (1.75” lift). I might get away with stock UCA but don’t want to risk it when it comes to alignment. I rarely drive off-road. Maybe I will more now. Anyhow, Amazon is selling the zones for $473. I feel like that’s decent and all I’m looking for is reliability and make the alignment easier. Also looked SPC for $699 and JBA for $660. Thoughts?

    I had the Zone's on my 14 Tundra. Very beefy UCA's. Easy install. No issues.

    Thanks. For what I want, I don’t think spending an additional $200-300 is worth it for SPC or JBA

    I used Zone UCAs on two Tundras and had no complaints. Perfectly corrected alignment and were robust. Easy to maintain. Box welded, good product. Look alright too!
