Here's some highlights.

• To solve the extreme ball joint angle of the stock arms the ball-joint cup is clocked to run level on vehicles with 2-3" additional ride height.
• With the proper shock setup, this allows up to 50% increase in down travel over OE/Aftermarket suspension kits that use OE length shocks. (we offer these)

Features:

• The arms are 100% BOLT-ON
• Heavy Duty Grease-able Sealed ball joint offers higher misalignment than OEM, and lasts much longer than uniball type arms, and no squeaks!
• Removable Billet ball joint Top Cap
• OEM style Rubber bushings for lower maintenance, quieter, less vibration and no squeaks!- Heavy wall tubular design provides more strength versus the flimsy OEM stamped steel arms.
• Lower profile than OE, thus providing additional clearance for larger tires, and/or larger/ longer shocks.
• 3 Degrees additional caster.
• Will work on stock height vehicles as well.

These have been working great for me along with the extended travel shocks i'm running. Fixed all of the harsh unloading problems I was having with ome and ironman shocks paired with SPC control arms. No comparison in my opinion. Great product.

Only gripe I have is you guys should include the castle nuts and cotter pins. I picked up some new ones from Toyota, but it's the little things some times.

Can look into this, thank you!

It looks like there have been some changes to the Nitro UCAs since I ordered in April, can you highlight the changes between the “old” and “new” UCAs?

At 21” (fender lip to center hub), I can get +1 degree of caster with stock UCA’s. These arms are advertised as having +3 caster built in. Does that mean i can get a total of +4 degrees caster or close to it? Anybody have alignment sheets post install?

These look good. Are they compatible with Night View?

I'm also trying to see the difference. They are still selling both. I found the older model for under $600 on a different website.. The new style is $750.

@just differentials can you explain the difference?

The early UCAs had a little less caster than the current ones. The older ones also had urethane bushings, the new ones use OEM rubber bushings. The early ones are no longer available.

I know this was 3 years ago, but did you ever find an answer to this question regarding caster?
