    Are you running additional lift in addition to the SL? I recall another member having issues with JBA arms and the SL..... JBA told him he needs to add a spacer up front because their arms are designed for 2" lifts.

    Although the UCA is a floating link that does not impact ride height or the LCA/tie-rod/CV angles, I could see it causing issues. Not sure how exactly that correlates to tie rod interference since both the tie rod and wheel are bolted to the knuckle, so their relationship to one another shouldn't be affected. But if that's the only difference, and if you're only running the SL without any additional lift, then I agree with the above- try some OEM arms to see if that helps.

    I think if he added more lift it would make his issue with the tie rods worse because of the added angle.
