Thats the point of the new UCAs is to correct the ball joint problem the rough countrys had. Now they seem to come with new UCAs so the problem should be fixed. I don't have any proof of them actually working but my guess is they are superlift UCAs or a copy of them. Either way it should be corrected.

ok, i was talking to dad about how the 2 in lift can possibly cause damage to other parts and he said that i should just upgrade the shocks and if i really want to be higher just get a 3 in body lift cause if i save up for the 5 in im going to have to get bigger tires and wheels and i just got new tires so i really dont want to have to do that, so now that im not going to spend money for a lift what shocks out there are the best out there?

Bilstein(sp?) makes some of the best all around shocks out there. I have also heard good things about the dual tube edelbrock IAS shocks. Rancho also makes good shocks. I wouldn't both body lifting it. The only readon you body lift is to clear bigger tires the cheap way. If you arn't going to put bigger tires on it there really isn't a point to doing a body lift right now. It just causes clearance issues (from what I hear) with the fan and the shroud. Plus the frame will show like crazy and the tires you have now fit the way the vehicle sits now. A body lift won't gain you any extra ground clearance.
