While the visual differences are obvious, the functional benefits of the billet parts get pretty granular, where *most* people probably wouldn't really take advantage of the differences. Basically the billet parts offer more and easier adjustability. On the UCA's, rather than a fixed-position bushing at the pivot end, the billet ones have individually adjustable spherical bearings for fine-tuning your alignment. For most, this might not be important because you can usually dial in your alignment reasonably well using the adjusters on the bottom control arms. Likewise the rear billet links also include on-vehicle adjustability, meaning you can make adjustments to the link-length without having to remove the links from the vehicle to thread the rod ends in and out. This can be handy for compensating for taller lifts and adjusting pinion angle. The billet rear lower links also include replaceable nylon rock sliders along the bottom surface.
Very helpful and thank you for clarifying. I think the tubular component will suit me just fine. Now I just wait for your new ICON coils for Overlanders.
Hi there Chritaka, sorry for the delay in responding, as I haven't logged in here under my Icon account for the last few days and didn't see the notification that you had tagged me.
