Aftermarket UCAs and backspace

[Fourrunfunnin]

I'm getting ready to do a 3/2 lift on my 4runner and am researching new UCAs. I was pretty set on JBAs until I read they require 4.5" of backspace on tires 255/85/R16 and larger. I have 265/65/R18s on rims with a 24 offset so I really don't want to go the spacer route as the tires are out as far as I want them. Any recommendations on arms that will work but not break the bank?

I would call Total Automotive Performance to be sure they would fit your wheels...but I just got some Dirt King UCAs from them and they are super nice. Great quality. $636 shipped

ProComp used to be the good, cheap uniball option until they jacked their prices to those of dirt king level!

You can do SPC which are like the JBA, probably around 440. Procomps are 580, Dirt King 636, ICON 6** (cant post price), Camburg 680, etc.

Thanks for the replies guys. I should have mentioned that I do not want to go with uniball arms. Just don't want to screw with it. I know that limits my choices but I want replaceable ball joints. I know SPC are the LR arms but people seem to have issues with the quality. Camburg is an option but I've read there are some issues with enough caster. IDK. I'm really bummed about the JBAs

Why don't you like the unibal? Just keep them lubed up and clean and you will be fine. I know people who have had unibal arms for years without a single issue.

Camburg is going to be a much stronger option over JBA or SPC/LR arms if you must go with a ball-joint.

How about JBA + Spacers?

Let me preface by saying I don't go off road. If I ever did it would be minimal. I don't know if that makes a difference with the SPC/LR arms. I'm a little shy of the Camburgs A. because of the price B. the possible caster issue.
I don't want to use spacers with my rims because the are out of the wheel well as far as I want them. Any farther out and I think they'd look stupid.
I'm just trying to have a little fun with the truck and maybe drive it for 5 more years.
My hesitation with uniballs is that they seem to squeak if you don't lube them all the time. I may be wrong though. I'm looking for a more low maintenance application.
