    With my limited knowledge of uca, I was just curious why jba uca are popular option. I've only had my eyes on spc uca because of its adjustability and a future upgrade of 33s, suspension and keeping my mudflaps. I think I'm willing to pay the higher cost of spc for its adjustability

    People go for the chapter option quite often. JBA have a low price. SPC is a very good option because of the adjustability

    Cheaper....Easier to set up.... Red.

    Not necessarily in that order.

    I'll give my 2 cents here.... 1). I had camburg UCAs, 1.25 unibalz, ran them about 50K, but they had a lot of play in the end. Ran them in the muc and yea they needed rebuilt and to rebuild them you needed to remove them from the truck, big PIA. I am not a racer, I run a camper. So went to the JBA, and the new alignment from Marlin, truck drives amazing, and looks good too. If you need HD, get the jba HD, but these new UCAs are super!

    I think with the High caster UCAs you will have better handling and turning radius. The OE ball joints are not a bad idea though. I am at 2.5 and carry a load, so need some adjustability. On the rubber vs poly the Jbas have some cool ports to channel grease no need to release pressure.
