When you start talking $1000+ control arms and the $1000+ coilovers they deserve, you might as well just shoot for a solid axle swap in my opinion. Why dump that much money into IFS?

That or go long travel. Do like the idea of the reinforced LCA’s but for that price and my usage I doubt they’d ever be worth the price IMO

Which sucks because theres definitely some options available, just nobody with any experiences on them. If you come across something I'd be interested in seeing it
If you were curious, in regards to UCAs, JBA offers a very nice pair for our vehicles that net another +1in of droop, with zerk fittings on both the ball joint and bushings too. Supposedly make highway driving a dream, too. Can't wait to put mine on

Yeah I really like the JBA’s they seem pretty solid for my use. Let me know when you get them put on I’d like to hear your thoughts!

Keep in mind these move the wheel 1" forward - potentially a saving grace if your trying to stuff a 35"+ tire at full compression and turn. IMO that's a large part of the value of those arms (even though they don/t mention that in the item description )

Ah I see, do the jba uca not do the same? I thought the spc uca did that and the difference between the 2 is negligible. At this point I have no plan on running 35’s in the near future just got to 33’s and don’t think I want bigger. Maybe even smaller while it’s still my daily haha.

The Solo Motorsports LCA brings the wheel forward while the JBA and SPC UCAs bring the wheel towards the back. This is to get back the lost caster when you lift. The SPC UCA allows for more adjustment both in caster and in camber compared to the JBA UCA. However, the current SPC UCAs are now made in china whereas the JBA UCA is made in USA.

They also use a chevy-style upper ball joint (theirs is upgraded from a standard one), but you can bolt on standard ball joints in a pinch:



SPC's require you to buy their (single source) ball joints when they need replacement.
