    Our kits will not come with new spindles.
    The Diff Drop kit will help decrease the angles of your CV Axles (if you are 4WD). The UCA's are going to be what helps you with aligning your vehicle properly.

    The diff drop will not help anything when it comes to alignment, the UCA's will.

    What are the benefits of spending the extra 250 dollars for the total chaos? And how much lift does the toytec boss lift the front end? Sorry to hijack

    Ball joint vs uniball design, and name to back it up.

    Uniballs can yield more adjustability and travel than ball joints, but they require a little more attention.

    By more attention you mean grease them often?

    I'd do uniball if you like to go off-roading. If your aim is more mall crawler then I'd stick to ball joint.

    Total Chaos control arms are a "fixed" style control arm that offers a full tubular design with reinforced trussed mounting points, poly bushings, greaseable zerks for those poly bushings, and a 1'' stainless steel uniball, they will offer proper caster specs that are built into the control arm.

    The SPC control arms are a factory style control arm with a factory style ball joint, the ball joint is made to be adjustable to insure the proper alignment the first time without any issues. The ball joint does come with a greaseable zerk that we recommend pumping with grease every oil change.

    If you are going to be doing "harder" style off roading I would recommend going with the Chaos arms to insure proper flow of the suspension, the reason being is if you are going to be cycling the suspension more times than not you will have a higher chance of separating the ball joint on the UCA.

    I ordered the uniball. I'm at the dunes every weekend and sometimes the front wheels come off the ground. Figured that extra travel would help. Thanks everybody for the help

    what is the likelihood that an SPC ball joint will ever wear out? For 99% of us who do street, or light trailriding to a mtb spot and/or fire roads, are the SPC as good as it gets from a reliability and noise standpoint? Didn't they just update their balljoint following this post too?
