    pinstripes. lots of pinstripes.
    There's a 12 page thread on here if you search.

    I'd save up a little more and get the Mevotech-repackaged SPCs for more adjustability.

    I did search and didn’t find much on here for posts. U got a copy of the link.

    don’t like spc due to the negative reviews I’ve herd about there first and second gen designs.

    I had those on my Taco. They worked fine but needed some more adjustability(caster) so I sold those and got the SPC's.

    Google search looks like it's better than the forum search:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/freedom-offroad-uca.526875/

    SPC went through several revs, the current one has addressed all of the first and second iteration issues. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I trust that way of designing more than buying the cheapest possible that has issues the company never bothers to address. Not saying Freedom does this but it's nice to see SPC listening and adjusting accordingly.

    It’s not the price but more about curiosity of freedom. R u talking about the 25470 spc ones

    I happened upon Wulf UCA’s, and the Freedom UPA’s, on Amazon. They look identical to me but are currently listed at $250.
