Default Anyone make longer UCAs?

I reeeally want to run a 3" level on my 4x4 '09 but I hear the ball joint is nearly maxed out with it. Is there any companies making longer control arms for out trucks?

Get some uniball UCA's.

Total Chaos and Icon make them but they use 1" uniballs. Camburg uses 1.25" uniballs, I ordered a set of these.

For what you guys are doing, even a 1" UNI is overkill. I beat the **** out of my Raptor and I was using the stock ball joints - just upgraded to ICON UCAs (1").

KHC Dave is running 1" UNI's and I've seen 5' of daylight under his wheels.

Something to consider - a larger UNI will have more of an impact on what back spacing you can run.

Yep. You can go with an 'upgraded' stock length UCA or a longer UCA - which will require longer LCAs, axles and tie rods.

I just don't recommend the total chaos uca's, they have bad geometry and have binding issues.
