Best UCA survey - which did you go with and why?

[nipeej]

Who's UCA did you go with and did it accomplish what you were looking for it to do?
Thanks for your input.

I went Camburg Tubular steel. Does what it needs to do. Gets alignment back on track and slightly more droop travel for the coil-overs I’m running. My close second choice was Total Chaos.
both companies make great products.

I hear and have seen mixed results with Icon arms. Not really a fan of their stuff. My own opinion.

IMO, I’d stay away from the sub-$500 options out there.

Not saying ”best” but my zone ones came with the lift and have served the purpose…use stock bushings and ball joints which are fine…but they are heavy because cast steel…

I went with the OME from ARB, they had the caster correction I wanted for 2" of lift with OE style bushings so they wont make a ton of noise as they get older like the arms I have with heim joints and uniballs. They were also relatively affordable.

Went with Camburgs on our 2 Door and Foutz on our Raptor. Very happy with both of them.

I just today ordered the zone with bushings and ball joints. $626 for them shipped. I wanted the icon delta joints, but I couldn't stomach 1300$ cdn for them when the Zone ones will do the same thing for my bilstein 6100's. They are maxed out on the clips, and still a big rake front to back with the badlands springs. So I did an inch level on top of those. I'm probably a total lift of just about 3.4" front and 2+ish inch out back. Rake is gone. (40.625" front 41.125" rear, ground to fender arch. Toyo 35x12.5 tires) But I'm installing the Zone uppers and a diff drop in the coming week. So yeah, the zones, for me will do everything the expensive uppers would have. Maybe even get a little droop back. So right now my budget logic vote goes with Zone!!

For those who may not have ever seen BigMeatsBronco has posted here about how some of these so called engineered badass high dollar UCAs do not hold a candle to the range of motion of the stock upper ball joint. The OEM uca is quite good. Not any adjustment in them but I feel you really do not need different ucas unless going more than 1.5” over Sasquatch height. So that would be 2.5/2.75 over the non squatch versions.

With all this said, IMO, the Zones are the best choice if you feel you may need a different UCA. Reasonable price. Uses the stock upper ball joint for service life. But still relocates the position of said ball joint and gives room for those big aftermarket coilovers.

Just my 2 cents.

I went with the Icon Billet. A little cheaper than the competitors and liked what I read about the delta joint pro. Install was straight forward. I didn’t think I would notice a difference driving but it felt better when turning. Haven’t been out for any wheeling yet but will post an update once I get it out.
