Mevotech TTX control arms

[FF1899]

They are standard angle not angle correction so yes they are just a stronger version of stock and offer a little more articulation

I don't have any experience with the Mevotech arms but they seem to be same lenght/offset as the stockers as judged by pictures and other people comments. Their BJ has a zerk provision to add grease? and the arms themselves seem beefier with respect to stock. If that is the case the BJ movement should be the same as stock and offer no camber or caster correction past what the stockers can do, This comes into play if you're lifting with an adjustable strut or coilover while keeping the factory spindles.

If your truck is lifted with an aftermarket spindle that will maintain stock UCA geometry you want a factory UCA that will work the same as stock unless you're lifting past that point, say 4" spindle + 5100 at 2.8" or 6" spindle + 5100's at 2.8" lift (I don't know much about this type of lifts just what i read around here so feel free to correct me) The dude asking to use Mevotech UCA's with his Bilsteins at 2.8 will benefit from UCA's that have been built with an offset for 2-3" lift.

You can see the differences in lenght/offset here: scroll down for the pics Stock UCA vs Zone for example:
https://www.ramforum.com/posts/1008427/

Any offset aftermarket UCA will offer more caster/camber correction with respect of the stockers if you're lifted between 2-3" with factory spindles, BJ swing (assuming the UCA uses a factory style BJ) is the same in either case, but they have an offset built into the arm that will allow the BJ to have a better range of motion as the strut cycles up and down without the BJ in theory going into a binding position. This is the reason when you try to use one of them with a lifting spindle that uses stock UCA's that the BJ's won't work as expected because the correction built into the arm hinders the BJ movement at stock height or worst when the strut cycles up/down, Hoping to make sense here.

If the UCA uses a factory style BJ the difference in movement/angles come from simply having that offset that will maintain a better BJ angle as the UCAs cycle up/down given variances in the terrain, not only when they're at rest. The most travel on the BJ comes from something like JBA's, Icon Delta join or anything that uses a uniball BJ to do the job, asides from the offset built into the arm, or built into the BJ itself or both. offset will give more caster/camber correction if your application needs such a thing.

Did you get rid of the Ready lift uca's? If not, I'd be interested in taing them off your hands.

Sorry the are already sold

I have both upper and lower Mevotechs with my Fabtech lift and they are great!
Solid and heavy duty.
I’ve had my
Lowers on for a year and just swapped out my uppers for mevo about 6 months ago.
No issues with them.

About to do this same thing as the bolts in my lowers are frozen. Any issues long term with these? I'm about to buy both upper/lower arms.

 

[Lyle Longboat]

Still going strong! No issues.

Just found my upper ball joint boot on the passengers side was torn today so I have a set of these coming. Glad to see people are happy with them.

How do they ride, I never got around to ordering them. I do have to replace the LCAs so was debating Zones but these MEVO TTX seems cheaper and probably worth saving the $$

Havent put them in yet, I've been too lazy[emoji23]

Would I be better off going with these over the Moog "Heavy Duty" line, CK621897 & CK620634, despite the awful color? I don't do much offroading, just looking for factory replacements as mine are starting to go at 60k miles.

HAHAHAHA thats pretty much where I'm at.

I sometimes go full retard wen I buy stuff.. lol...

 

[MoparFin]

Will these work with a 2.5” spacer lift?

They are just standard stock replacement.

I thought I saw your truck was leveled?

Nope, My Superlift uses factory UCA.
