Rough Country UCA's

[Halfchrome]

Does anyone have experience with these?
I was on the fence between a bunch of different brands but the reviews and price steered me in this direction. I have 5100's up front on my 2017 and the alignment guys couldn't quite get all the positive camber out which results in a ****** ride on the highway, I'm really hoping these might help get a little more negative camber. Also, my driver side upper ball joint is pushed up out of the seat a bit so it was time to upgrade. I also have the rear 5100's coming along with some airlift 1000hd rear bags to help when towing and fix a little bit of drivers side lean I can't seem to correct.

They'll do the trick, only thing i would be concerned with would be the bushings. The BJ should be generic and more likely a moog or similar, hoping not a chineese knockoff but who knows. RC uses chinesse crap to put together parts that's whay they can sell cheaper. they're known in the Jeep world for chitty bushings among other flaws but i think some of their stuff is ok if you're lucky. They're cheap for sure, i have a 01 WJ with their most expensive long travel arm kit, the kit as a kit has been great and it's not exactly cheap, but the shocks are a POS haha.

I think Readylift UCA's will be better and about $100 more, up to you.

I actually liked the idea of the factory style bushing's over the poly's for ride quality. Hopefully they hold up, if not I'm sure RC would warranty them.

My truck's a lease and I'm still 50/50 if I want to buy it out of get the new body style when my lease is up in a year and a half so i'm trying to balance what I want while still taking into consideration that I might just be getting rid of it since Ill likely be too lazy to move it back to stock(outside my wheels and tires) if I decide to not keep it.

For a less expensive UCA option we highly recommend either the Ready Lift or Zone. Ready lift still uses a ball joint but its Proprietary. Zone uses an OE style ball joint. We typically have these in stock and we can offer you a forum discount on them. Message me for pricing

If you look at UCA’s they range in the $700 area. Nick’s right with the zones being a less expensive alternative. The rough country’s are bottom of the barrel. They may work just like the dollar store batteries the only question is for how long? Spend the extra money now and it will be cheaper than buying 2 as we all know doing it the 2nd time always costs a lot more

I have the Rough country 3” Kit, and while I agree with the consensus here, I will say... the UCA”s are the nicest part of the kit. I’ve only had them on for about 12k miles/1 year, but they are holding up fine. You should be able to pick up the UCA”s for basically dirt cheap compared to the competition. They are not the best option, but they will definitely work.
