I have no idea. I told them to match the red on my core 4x4 parts. He coated off memory. I love it!

Ok where to begin.....

I have so many feelings but I'm exhausted after this one. Professionals with proper tools 2hrs,
Average person like me all damn day

We'll start with the tool list. You need 2 big jacks and Jack stands. If you don't have either of these stop reading now as you won't complete this install. You need various sockets and wrenches ranging from 10mm all the way up to a 21mm deep socket preferably 1/2 drive.

Instructions were straight forward no complaints there but how I hate that UCA nut attached to the spindle.

Enough rambling we want pictures!!!

There is the requested side by side of stock vs Maxtrac.

My stock ball joints were shot.
I'm very pleased with how they turned out both performance and style.

Who would I recommend these to?
Anyone doing the 7" maxtrac lift or 2-3" spacers.
The angle at which the stock UCA sits when stretched will cause it to fail offroad but it's worth it

Questions, comments, concerns?? Leave em.

Thanks, they turned out great. Looks like the same length as the oem bar.

Hows the ride feel with the uniball?

It eats potholes. I used to cringe avoiding them now I'm going over anything.

The UCA sits perfectly in their home in the 4.5 Lift Spindle.

I've created another problem though. I've come to terms with all the other front end suspension parts that need replacement. Tie rod ends, front swaybar, bushings, endlinks.

Nothing terrible but I love when my truck drives better than new

Anyone running spacers, lift springs etc will definitely need an UCA upgrade. I got 50k + lift miles and 78k total miles on the stock UCA's

Who offers solid axle swaps or the 13-18?

Nobody lol it would have to be custom

The Core 4x4 rear control arms are installed. Bring your muscles or air tools for this install.
