    Jon, I know I'm gonna need UCAs soon and based on what I've seen, I'm inclined to order the RRO version.

    If you want to measure a set of the RRO arms you could order a set, take measurements, and then ill buy them off of you. After I install them ill be able to report back on alignment parameters, fit, etc and you'll have more info to base your design off of.

    I'm definitely interested in these as well as I've been eyeing up the JBA and RRO units but, as mentioned neither one of them are perfect. Your stuff has always caught my eye and seems to always have what I'm looking for...I'd definitely be in that first group to purchase your UCA's and be a 'tester' if you need that as well. Here's to hoping these are available soon!

    Although this is something I wanted to get out soon, it has had to take a back seat until we find a welder that we feel comfortable making this type of product. The last thing any of us want is a bad weld to fail in a UCA.

    There is only one issue with the JBA and that's the clearance between the arm itself and the coil. I've been beating the piss out of my jeep the last few weeks and have had no issues with them. The RRO UCA's don't have that issue and should be perfect! What did you hear bad about them??

    Well, basically it just doesn't seem like RRO has the best of reputations and especially not so much in the customer service department. I know Steel Armadillo would put full R&D and a great attention to detail into the product...Plus, Super Sliders and UCA's from Steel would be a nice first purchase for me

    Their customer service is definitely lacking but most of their products have pretty good reviews. I have their lift and it was made incredibly well but their shocks were a huge disappointment.

    All shocks that come with the spacer lifts are pretty much junk!!
