Fake Ballin for da Gram
iTrader: (12)
Id be really iffy about replacing the upper control arms. I would want to be sure that they are just as strong or better than oem. I'm assuming the new uca is adjustable and allows more travel for the ball joints?
Anyone know if its a factory ball joint or uniball like the cambergs?

The UCA is the selling point for sure. They look like there are grease fittings, so that is a good thing. Wonder if they sell them separate?

1. New extended rear shocks are not required to install this leveling kit properly, but recommended.
2. Requires aftermarket wheels with 5.5" backspacing or less. Factory tires and rims can be used, however mounting wider tires on the factory rims will cause contact of the upper control arms.

thank you for those who have responded. I work for a company that is a dealer for suspension kits, so I see every different kind out there and this one just caught my eye for what I would maybe want to do to my own truck. I called the manufacturer and they said the upper control arms are equipped with new OE style ball joints (not Uniball). they also said the arms are made of .120" wall DOM tubing and should be every bit as strong as the OE arms. I think I'm going to give this a try and I will update what I think once its finished.
