Need Help Finding UCAs

So as some of you may or may not be aware of, my 4Runner is currently sitting at my dealership due to hitting a dead tree over the weekend on a trail.

Had the adjuster out today and they cut me a check as it was easier that way, this ends up being a bit of a blessing as I'm being bled on the rental cost.

Anyways, long story short; I'm looking for something a bit beefier than the SPC UCAs I've run for a while now. Not that they aren't good UCAs (they have been for me so far), but the 35's are a bit much for it I'm thinking and since one is gonna need to be replaced...

The biggest concern I have is that they need to be adjustable ON the vehicle and can pretty much guarantee that I can get into 5~6 degrees of caster and near 0 degrees camber. This part is critical and one of the reasons I kept the SPCs when I went with 35's since I could dial them in where I needed them.

Unfortunately Total Chaos, Icon, and similar Uniballs do not seem to meet that criteria because the heims have to be adjusted off the vehicle (which, unless they give you a cheat sheet to go by makes them inaccurate at best).

Nobody has talked about these, pretty expensive but they look sick. Similiar to the Icon billets from the looks.

Apparently they get 5-5.5 degrees of castor by changing the orientation of the heim joint spacers. Not sure where that stacks up vs. other UCAs.

Camburg Kinetik Billet

I will keep them in mind, but I think it was already mentioned in a thread that they need to be removed to be adjusted.

Trying to find out how people are adjusting their Total Chaos to correct alignment, but not finding any information... :(

Post Note-

I almost wish those Camburgs weren't billet, they're tubular ones don't have the heim set-up... I'm mainly concerned I'm not gonna be able to balance Caster and Camber with many of the non-adjustable arms out there.

I remember you mentioning the whole adjustable on the vehicle thing in regards to the Camburg UCA. Do you know any UCAs that would fit my requirements?

I'm not 100% positive,
But I think rokmen have a threaded insert between the uca and the hiem that acts as a turnbuckle to give you installed adjustability, as opposed to the typical jam nut that is used in conjunction with the hiem threads- which require removal
 
Did you damage the SPC or just feel it's time

That's with the steering straight ahead.

The wheel was cambered in so badly and the caster was so screwed up on the passenger side where it took the log that the wheel was rubbing the UCA even after we pulled it all the way out on the UBJ and added a 3/4" Spacer off BackOff's 4Runner. The UBJ plate (the one with the SPC Logo) is actually worn away some from the friction and the UBJ is torn open and contaminated. The passenger side at the least needs a new UBJ, but I'm not sure if the arm is straight or not still.

In any case at this point I put an order in for the Camburg Kinetiks, They have beefier heims than the ICONs and most of the others out there and are designed to easily hit 5~5.5 degrees of Caster. Though I am a bit annoyed that for such an expensive UCA they couldn't make the heims adjustable on the vehicle.
