We offer and recommend Zone and ICON UCA's. We have not seen any problems like the BDS ones have with these 2 brands. Very sorry to see this happen to you. If we can help get you any parts please let us know.

...just as I thought, no warning back in December of 2018. Yet BDS insisted it was there!

I can tell you that they "DID NOT" have that posted anywhere on their site before ... that is new and they did it because of all the failures to the UCAs as of late ..... complete bs if you ask me lol ....

Wonder how much it would cost to touch base with an attorney? A class action might lite a fire under their ass to step up and honor a warranty on their faulty equipment!

I know it's been said 100 times before, but what if........ There was a car next to you full of family...... You weren't on a long straight away to be able to skid to a stop? I know the tire and cv axle n all isn't too expensive, but the cost to install and total inconvenience is!

I'd talk to every 1 that has had the same issue and talk to an attorney! They basically are admitting fault with the updated website!

Here is the thing ... no one wants to wait the months that something like this would take to settle or even be heard in court .... until people stop "excusing" these brands and companies from doing this kind of crap over and over again, it will continue to happen over and over again ....

What needs to happen is everyone who is going through this go to BDS instagram and other social media and put them on full blast! And continue to put them on blast with posts and stories showing what is happening with their bs parts ....

I blasted Maxtrac on instagram but no one else who had problems did .... BDS is a trend lift kit if you ask me ...no other way to put it ....

Zone would be nothing more than another BDS product with the same flaws. Icon did not recommend using their control arms with the BDS 4" lift. I already ordered new control arms that should actually work.

No "disclaimer" in February when I placed my order either. Simply trying to cover their tracks. Too late!

BDS and Zone control arms are not the same. Same parent company but they make different UCA's

The angles and BJ geometry would still be the same. Won't work for me.

That's brutal to see. Which new arms did you go with?

I ended up going with Maxtrac since their control arms will be the closest match to the factory UCAs.
