BDS makes a set. I scored a lightly used set, cleaned and lubed the uniballs, touched up the paint.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but what is the general concensus on the Zone UCAs?

I am trying to decide whether or not to stick with the factory UCAs or the Zone UCAs (originally from a Zone 4" Bronco 2 door lift kit) when I install the Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 suspension.

I did get some aftermarket upper ball joints (MEVOTECH MS40560) from Rock Auto for the Zone control arms which appear high quality externally, but who knows whether or not they are as good as OEM ball joints.

I could purchase something more exotic, but I am not sure that it will much matter given the fact that I am likely to never run anything larger than 37s and more than likely will stay with 35s (I think that the unsprung weight of 37s would overwhelm the Eibach suspension). I intend to keep the Eibach around the settings they come out of the box (or slightly higher for leveling). The overall goal is balancing ground clearance and articulation.

Looking forward to everyones thoughts, hope that is enough detail.

Depending on how much lift you achieve with the new Eibach suspension you’re going to be very close to maxing out your camber adjustment without an aftermarket set of UCA’s designed for such.. that’s really the only significant reason I could drum up to make a change. For reference my stock 4dr Sasquatch UCA’s would max out at about an additional 1.5-2” of lift before you wouldn’t be able to align it anymore.
