Why is this in the for sale section?

@Victor Lawson just ordered those UCA’s, check with Nick for a price

I plan to do a write up with some pics once I receive and install these.

I'm sure you'll be happy with them. Everything i've read has been great and there's almost no wear to the joint, even under harsh conditions. Icon build quality is second to none as well.
I've been contemplating swapping my Zone UCAs for them for a while now......

I'm running the uniball version and the stage 2 icon suspension kit. Absolutely love them. I can imagine the delta is only better but just didn't see the added benefit on my end that much. Nick's your guy as well to purchase.

Good question. Thought i posted it in exterior section? Im building my own upper arms. Not buying. Was just curious how the delta joints hold up.

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

They are a newer UCA but we have been getting positive feedback so far from our customers.

Im gonna make mine a boxed design like the zone bjt with the same style sealed joints like the delta joints. Thwy have 22 degrees of motion to fix angle correction. Currwntky getting them patented.
I'm also going to use sealed steel bushings that are rebuildable for where they bolt to the body on my truck. Gonna weld a sleeve in, then insert the joints in. They are actually stronger than the bushings in the delta joints.
These will be for my personal truck. Then when patented, I will become a vendor on here.

A rough sketch of the ones im going to make.
Im not good at drawing. Thats why im taking mechanical drawing classes. Lol

Looks very similar to the zones. Maybe you can cut fab time down and buy the arms from Zone then add in your own joint?

Im literally going to install my 8" icon strut and then bolt in the balljoint, then use posterboard to make templates, and adjust from there. Hopefuly after i finish these classes, i can design parts on a computer.

I was suggesting this to simplify your design and process. Zone’s UCA is boxed and built, if you bought it from them all you’d have to do is weld in your sleeve. Or, you could ask them if they would do so if you supplied them and that would save you a lot of headache and design.

It would also take a lot of the research and guess and check out of it. I don’t know how much fab work you’ve done on parts like this but it’s not usually a process that is perfect the first run, from what I understand.

You can spend time designing a set but other companies have pretty much done the work for you. You can use their UCAs to help design your’s, it’ll save a lot of time and guess work. If you’re not good at drafting and/or solidworks then there’s a whole mother hurdle.

Cool project!

My concern is copyright infringement. My design will be established the old fashioned way with degree levels. I built my own 6" Jeep lift from scratch, and when i took it for alignment there was no issues. I graduated the 4 year apprenticeship program for the union boilermakers. I have been welding and fabbing for 20 years. Like they did before Cad was even a thing. Haha.
Eventual goal is to design a full spring 8" lift with custom fabbed knuckles, additional dropped crossmember, and transfer case along with correct rear control arm drop brackets. That way CV angles will be at stock.
Then i can take measurements and mske mechanicsl drawings, and cnc cut my own brackets and fab up dropped spindles. m sure taking the Cad, Cam, and mechainical drawing classes will teach me how to do all of this on a computer. Highly looking forward to that.

I wasn’t doubting your skill or ingenuity, merely offering an alternative to reach your goal.
I can cut, weld, and fab as well, been doing it for years just takes some brain power and practice and ingenuity.

Autocad has been out for well over 30 years. I started using it in my second year of mechanical drafting in 10th grade in 1992, and it was out for 10 years already.

It’ll definitely help with design, there are tons of features these days.

Good luck with your project, looking forward to seeing the end result!

Thanks, I'm always looking to gain some knowledge.

That and it’ll give you a good template to work with as a nice starting point from the design aspect.
