    This. I also do not want Uniball maintenance... are spc’s only non-uniball option?

    If you're talking upper ball joints, the new arms come with them. Freedom offroad has a budget option for UCA's, also you can get the Eibach branded SPC arms for $550. That's what I bought and everything is stamped SPC and had greasable ball joints.

    I'd go with JBA though.

    Alright so I found this kit, basically a 2.5-2.75” level for my 01 4x4 AC. Price seems solid, rear AALs included, one reviewer recommends a 1” rear diff drop kit, other than that I’d replace U&L BJs, UCAs, and replace CV boots.
    Thoughts? Also looking for best pricing/performance on UCAs & OEM BJ kit if one exists.

    This kit from toytec comes assembled with new top plates and is ready to install. The price is pretty good. Remember to use discount code: 10650 D0321231-0EDE-4BB8-86FE-7B54CD2CDE7E.jpg

    New set of OEM LBJs are in, also swapped out those “lug” centric spacers for some custom-built billet spacers. Me and a buddy doing all the work on her tomorrow, stay tuned :D

    Very satisfied :D id day the 2.5-3” (somewhere in between) OLD MAN EMU level is awesome! And the JBA arms are sweet, great call on those! Then adding some new OEM LBJs just is a cherry on top. Took me and a buddy about 2 days, had to run to Autozone a couple times, we’ll worth the Labor Day Weekend labor. The ride quality is much improved. Bumps? What are those.. I do need to get used to riding in some aggressive ATs, tad noisier and def feel the grooves. 285/70/17 Kelly Safari TSRs I got for a bargain... thanks to all that gave input!
