    NO LONGER FS: Jeepin by AL HD Upper Control Arms

    I hate to get rid of them, but I've decided to go a different route. I ordered them last week Tuesday and installed them on Thursday so they are pretty much brand new. They are the Gen 6.5 UCA's with Hummer H1 Ball Joints. I also have a spare H1 ball joint that I got right from JBA. These control arms are totally rebuildable, unlike the OEM UCA's and correct alignment issues on lifted XK's/WK's. After install, I had my Jeep aligned and for the first time in over 3 1/2 years they were able to get it within spec. Looking for $400 shipped to you door and they will come with the extra H1 ball joint and all stickers that were sent to me.

    Well I thought the UCAs were restricting my down travel due to the steering knuckle hitting the coil/strut assembly. I had Matt get some measurements for me since he is also running OME HD coils (w/ oem uca's) and it turns out that we have the exact amount of down travel. So now Im debating what im going to do. Limiting straps are out of the question because when you add a lift to IFS without using drop down brackets like supplied in the superlift kit you are already losing crazy down travel due to the lift. To run the limiting straps properly, id literally have about 1 inch of down travel. If it was a pavement princess I probably wouldnt care. But this isnt the case. I have a few weeks left to get my XK ready for a trip to Groves Grog Mud Bog.

    * HD coils in mine. But that doesn't effect the fully extended length of the strut regardless.

    Drop down brackets for what? The way the UCAs are installed would require a pretty extensive unibody modification and then you'd have to lower the LCA too or you'll mess up the kinematic relationship.... at that point just buy the superlift.
