Yes I got in touch with gatorose, ill prolly have him do it bc im 6-8 weeks for bumper anyways. But my grill is chrome not white like my body so Idk if it can be changed to white and if so if it will match body. But those grills are so sick

Thanks Ethan. Wonka pm'd me so I gave him the details on the arms, but they're definitely the way to go as long as you follow the proper maintenance protocol for them.

As a general rule of thumb, anything you add aftermarket will most likely require more maintenance than the OEM parts. So no, I wouldn't say there are maintenance free ones. Even the ones designed and marketed to be maintenance free repeatedly prove they need regular inspection or attention.

I'd recommend you research the different UCA options and find one that fits your desired combination of 'maintenance level/performance/cost'. Outside of that, I can only recommend what I have/have used based on my experiences.

Just want to say thanks to everyone who's has had imput on my runner build, I have a struiped? But what's the differance in the toytec ultimate and toytec boss kits?? Pls explain they both also have uca with the kit ass an add on as I will be adding those to with ever kit I buy. I cancelled the radflo ext.travel ...... My lift will be one of those two toytec.... I will also have shockworks front bumper with 9,000 lbs warn, and CBI rear so I'd like it to hold weight and still sit even. Sorry for all the trouble

Ultimate = off the shelf Bilstein 5100 shocks
Boss = unknown manufacture shocks with slightly larger piston

The LR UCA in kit = POS (unless you like parts with documented failures)
Desert Products UCA = over built boxed UCA that require some regular maintenance

You will need heavier springs front & rear (and properly matched shock rates) to support those heavy bumpers properly.
