I just installed a set of Nitro upper control arms on my 1999 LX470 and immediately changed my mind.
I'm looking for a set of used SPC upper control arms for a 100 Series. I can ship the nitros and wait for you to install them then send me the SPCs. My truck is not my daily driver.
The nitros...
Good morning peeps, I had a local dealership install my Bilstein lift and SPC UCAs(1 year ago), the control arms(I'm assuming) are making a loud rubber creaking sound when going over speed bumps and is driving me crazy and can't figure it out. Can someone tell me if I'm supposed to have a...
Slightly used SPC Upper Control Arms (UCAs) for 200 Series Cruiser. Slee installed these on my '10 a few years ago. They were on for less than a year (~4k miles), when I decided to do the Tundra Front-End conversion. I replaced them with the same UCA, but for Tundra.
Stored for the last few...

I have the well known, ever so fun issue of the seized front LCA bolt, so I'm unable to adjust my LCA's to get alignment within spec. Getting ready to cut the bolts off, but I would like to replace the LCA's with a lower mileage, good bushing, less rusty pair while I'm at it. I'll also be using...
Hey guys I'm looking for a pair of SPC light racing UCAs for my 98 lc. PM me if you've got one for sale or know someone who does.
I've also got a brand new pair of Nitro upper control arms still in the box that I would be willing to trade. They're stronger that the SPCs but I'm lifted high...
Hey guys I'm looking for a set of SPC light racing upper control arms for my 98 lc. I've got a set of brand new Nitro Upper Control arms that I can trade. The SPCs are valued at around $720 brand new and I got the Nitros directly from Carl at Just Differentials for $750. They're still in the...
So there are a few reasons I am not very happy with my lift but two I was really not expecting this to be an issue since so many FJ's, 4Runner's, and now GX's have already been lifted.

I've read several threads where folks talk about running +3 (D) or +4 (C) degrees caster and the merits of each.
I'm installing these upper control arms this weekend and am wondering what folks are happily running, assuming 2-3" lift (50-70mm droop), diff drop, upgraded shocks and torsion...
So I got my new UCA's in and am trying to understand how to get the top of the knuckle/upper ball joint away from the brake line and shock. I have the caster on setting D which they it says is good for 2-3 inch loft I don't understand the whole camber/caster settings. My plan was to get this...
