What UCAs to purchase

Gonna be getting the Eibach trd coils soon. Purchased coachbuilder +3 shackles and steering kit with the group buy. Also got the Wheeler super bumps on sale recently. Curious to what UCAs anyone recommends and why. Will be putting 285s on it at the same time. Thank you in advance.

 

Are UCAs needed with the coils you have planned? A Pro sits ~+2” factory and uses standard UCAs. The general consensus is no more than 3” lift with stock UCAs. It’s ok if you just want fancy ones! With low lifts, there isn’t much other advantage unless you’re gonna bomb the hell out of it. If that’s your intended use, you may want to rethink your component selections! Lol.

I can only speak to how MCM UCAs work. I have a hair over 3” of lift with ADS coilovers. Alignment was very easy to get within spec, but we intentionally added more caster (max end of spec) to move tires forward a little. I swapped out the uni-balls for Delta joints because I’m in a gooey and wet Oregon environment.

I hear good things about several other manufacturers, but I can’t comment on them. MCM Fab quality is great. Everything popped right in where it should, it’s all grease-able, no adjustable parts for simplicity, they look good, and the work good.

 

I don’t plan on beating it like it owes me money. Haha.

I have read that the coil is bigger in diameter and you can use the stock UCA but you have to put it in just right. Haven’t witnessed it. Just read it. Also talked to the coachbuilder guys and they did say you can reuse the stock UCA but you will be right on the edge for alignment. Putting those two things together I am just opting to do it all at once. Buy once cry once. Haha.

 

SPC's are the most adjustable I believe.

 

Ahhh. I hadn’t thought about coil diameter increasing. We typically see larger diameter coils in order to fit larger diameter shocks. Curious why it would be beneficial for fatty coils on standard diameter shocks…

Well, there are sure a lot to choose from! I say see if any of the reputable ones are going to hold a 4th of July sale…

 

You will get the most adjustment out of the ICON's

 

How much adjustment is necessary? Not knocking the brands that offer all kinds of wiggle, but is it worth it? Why?

I ask because we had no trouble dialing my alignment anywhere we wanted it with just the standard OEM LCA and tie rod adjustments. Is there a specific amount of lift where you can’t get it with just the LCA adjustments? Like I said above, I’m a bit over 3” lifted. I like to keep things simple where possible, so wonder if the extra adjustment points are worth it…

Definitely a lot of good options available.
