Upper Control Arms for Cast Iron Spindles

[RangerBear]

Has anybody with cast iron spindles installed the SPC UCAs? These also seem to be one of the few options for us with steel spindles.

SPC UCA's are awesome. We have ran these on multiple vehicles and have loved them every time. They are not the most "flashy" looking things out there but dollar for dollar they are one of the best performing models out there. Huge adjustment area. And if for any reason the ball joint fails its a simple swap out versus having to replace entire control arm. Plus their warranty isnt bad either lol

If anyone is looking for either steel (or even aluminum) compatible SPC's, we currently have both in stock and on hand!

This is being added to my wish list. I always use SPC. Quality products without the flashy stuff needed.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know regarding the SPCs, sound like a solid option. I also just noticed Baja Kits Boxed UCAs can be ordered for both aluminum AND cast spindles.

Anyone have experience using these for the cast spindles specifically?

Thanks in advance!

Bump. Wondering if anyone has logged some miles with the SPC arms or if there are any other new options for the steel spindles. Looks like icon is still unable to get their DJ UCA to market for the steel spindles.

@ gwhalin
how was the install? did you buy these on the group buy? i did , but, i have not installed mine yet.

Interesting. They still list the UCA as only compatible with the aluminum knuckles on the website. Supposedly they were going to email me when the new version for the steel knuckles were shipping. Honestly as much as I like the delta joint arms I’m pretty interested in the SPC arms due to the adjustability. It’s good to finally have some options !

Yep bought in the group buy. Pretty easy install. I swapped out my suspension to Fix 2.5 at same time so bit more involved but the UCA swap was straight forward.

I have a few thousand miles on the spc arms for steel spindles. I picked these because of the rubber bushings and stock type ball joint. They fixed my camber issue after fox 2.0s and the truck drives much better.

10 out of 10 would recommend

I agree with madtrixter. The adjustability is fantastic, I've had mine on for a few months now and they are solid, look like they should hold up really well.

Got the Icons for Steel knuckles on the group buy from the great guys at Stage3 and can highly recommend them. No adjustability but these fixed my positive camber situation after level, camber specks out perfectly now. Great product!

Good info here. So it doesn’t seem like the icons are currently available if you missed the group buy?

Depends on where you look, but the Icon controls arms are available.
