What's up everyone, I recently put a Motofab 2.5 level without UCAs. I am running 20x12 -44 wheels with Toyo Open Country AT2 Xtreme 33x12.50. I recently spoke to someone stating that his ball joints (upper) only lasted 3,000 miles. I did not swap my UCA but I am going to do it ASAP. Is there anyone running this setup with stock UCA for several miles? I also am having some rubbing issues. Any insight would be appreciated.

I’m running the 2inch Readylift with UCAs, read several stories from guys on here with 1000+ miles and no problems with the stock UCAs but it just felt like corner cutting to me, and having had issues corner cutting in some of my old Jeeps I opted to replace the UCAs and by all accounts they seem to be a much better quality then the stock units I replaced...so while I’m not really answering you question directly I do believe you’d be much happier upgrading them as soon as you can.

I agree with you man, I should have done it from the jump. I know better, but live and learn.

The general consensus has been to replace the UCAs when doing a level on an off road package or Rebel truck due to the 1” factory lift. Can you post pictures of the ball joint angles??

Here is one pic of the ball joint angle. I can get better ones. This is sitting on flat ground.
