Which Upper Control Arms ?

[xcmountain80]

There aren't a ton of choices but there still are a few. Going with 315's and will need the extra room.

Light Racing $435
Camburg $528
Total Chaos $725
All Pro $499

or just replace my upper BJ and UCA bushings and get Spider Trax wheel spacers $320 + shipping.

This is kind of a need to make a choice quickly.

Before you say 315's why etc, consider the 315's are almost new and are $500, I NEED new tires wihtin the next 5K. I'm running 295 Nitto TG's $1250 out the door. Add the other front end components I'm already replacing and the difference to run 315's with new UCA's is $200 vs stock and Brand New 295's. I'm already geared to 4.88 so thats a non issue, gas mileage and weight should be darn close considering there is only a 1.22" diameter (0.61" added height) and 0.59" in width which is 0.29" on each side.

I've installed most all of those on FJC's, FWIW. Light Racing is excellent value for the money; I've had good luck with them and I run them on my personal truck. Over 100,000 miles on them and they're still in good shape. I like the Camburgs also. If you're going to spend the money on TC, I would look a look at Icon also.

What kind of lift are you running up front again? If you have an extended coilover version like DR/Icon or Camburg i'd go with a uniball option (TC/Camburg UCA) to get the extra travel available. Any other setup i'd go with the light racing for its low maintenance design using the stock ball joint. You'll have less noise with the LR setup as well.

Let me see up front are the SS Adjustable (5 setting) Bilstein 5100's with Tundra coils with a 1/2" top out spacer. Experience coil and UCA bind on some trails at full droop. Value and low maintenance is key, I searched but could not find where you get replacement BJ's for the LR arms.

I'm just not sure, offroading isn't as frequent as in the past and the stock arms held up fine. No high speeds, and no huge or LT shocks for the time being. I would like something better than stock though stock is good. I found the LR UCA's through fat bobs for $379 + shipping. I'm just curious where you get a replacement BJ if needed. I imagine the instructions are somewhat straightforward.

I'm not running over 3" in the front, though I would enjoy 3.25-3.5", just saying.

Looks like it's the LR UCA's Fat Bob has them listed for $379 before shipping on their site.

What about the tube UCA's from ICON? More cost-effective than their billet UCA's and probably very nearly as strong.

[xcmountain80]

The ICON fall into the same boat as TC and Camburg, hadn't even considered them but they are also a great product.

The arms take a direct replacement BJ, so you can get one at any auto-parts store. I think the reason the discriptions say OE"style", is to not imply it being anoriginal Toyota joint.

I'm not so sure, but everyone I've talked to says they are usually replaced under warranty. If you look at the design of them it does't look like a typical BJ with its upper mount.
