    I have a 7" BDS lift on my tundra what kind of control arm upgrade should I put on it ?? Wanted JBA arms but they wont work unless I add a few more inches via larger springs ?

    I had SPC’s on my 18’ with a 4” lift. Everything was perfect. I was told by many to stick with a sealed ball joint for the Chicago winters. They told me uniballs would deteriorate faster and squeak from the salt and brine used around here. I still have the stock ones on my pro now, but I might put on the SPC’s since they are sitting in the garage doing nothing.

    Actually jba hd uca is for lifts 0-3 inches for max caster. And has a 1 ton ball joint which can be found anywhere.

    I'm working on it
    I have not called JBA. However I read somewhere that they do add camber
    And with the procomp 7" lift
    Procomp recommends stock UCA's as the lift geometry is designed on that

    I haven't yet

    But most likely Amazon for $555

    Unless a vender can match or get very close to that price
