Are those the eBay rear UCAs?

Washed five pounds of pollen off it yesterday. It was so bad I couldn't see out the windshield.....
I've been eyeing them since I saw them. Let us know how they work out. Do they seem to be quality material? I've read through the thread here and I'm fairly convinced theyre worth the money.

How much lift will I need to clear 33's on 17's. With the '99 limited package.

Yeah I asked about on the Facebook group and it seems like not many people have experience of running them... I figured they looked good in the pictures so I'd give them a shot.
They literally arrived this morning, and I'll probably not fit them for a couple of weeks as I still need to build up my axle and rear breaks, and get the diffs built up.
First impressions are that they feel solidly build, quite heavy, very thick walled tube, and the welds look good.
Finish is an almost metal flake grained metallic silver, but they did arrive with a few scratches.
The bushes feel really hard, harder than my supra pro poly bushes (from memory, I've not compared side by side) the heims look ok, but they don't look like they are made of the highest grade metal. I guess if they wear they are easy to replace.
What I've learnt so far from one guy that had them: (second hand information not verified by me yet!)
The heims are metric come replacement time... (This is actually good for me as I'm in the UK.)
The ABS wire clips on the top arms don't fit the factory clips (no biggie, many aftermarkets don't even have those!)
I've also heard reports that the panhard bar is too long if you have a drop down bracket. I already have an adjustable panhard so I'm going to sell this to cover the international shipping.
All in all I think it was worth it... Time will tell!

Did you use their current promo of $100 a purchase of $400?
Absolutely. 157 a piece x5 is 785-100 is 685 - 70 for rebate is 615. I ensured I had load range C. They are posted for B as well for cheaper. Thats why they cost a little more.

Didn't think about 5 tires. That's a good deal then. Too bad you couldn't have squeezed 2 $400 purchases out of that for 2 $100 rebates. Coopers are good tires.
It would have been great. I almost got 5 Duratracs for 750 but I opted for the cheaper because I still need an alignment, to register and insure and then inspection. Its sitting inside my garage right now slowly coming along. Just waiting on a couple more items and for my steel supplier to get back to me with my quote...

My husband went crazy on the tire deal and bought 6. Okay, not too crazy, 5 for the 99 and one to replace my older Michelin that I was using as a spare. Better than roses or chocolate. 
Tire rotation for the 96 today (who'd have thunk). Also repaired the air line that goes to the air pressure gauge, it had a small split in it. Not sure why it split, it sits under the door sill at that spot.

My AOR rear bumper finally came. Been at Greyhound for 2 days and they had the wrong contact number. It's an older style, so it doesn't have the angled supports as their CAD file shows on the website.
I can cut and weld some on at a later date if I feel froggy. Just happy to have a bumper that doesn't touch both sides of my truck and fit like shit. Plus I'll have a hitch again for pulling my quads if I ever decide to take this to the dunes instead of my diesel.

Ordered a Baja Rack! I was going to order it directly from Baja but shipping was $170. Ended up ordering the rack from OK4WD.com, free shipping!!! And the price of the rack was the same as directly from Baja :dancin:

Wheels and new rubber on the truck. Still need to paint the center caps though... Also replaced my front sway bar bushings, I think they were pretty shot.
