I'm pretty sure there is a uniball for stock arms. Don't quote me...I will search when I get off.

That would be nice, my ball-joints are already shot and they are not even a year old.

I think the pic I found is of tukn4s, but I think I'll look into a full set as my inners are just about done too.

JD Fab and Brenthel both used to make UCA's with uni ball.

If you DD (esp. through winter) expect them (and heims) to get noisy.

I dd...no winters. I have a spare set of uppers I can run either if they get too noisy. Just an option for us.

I didn't research. I went home and crashed...sorry.

It's back on the road, I am at 15 "clicks" seemed to ride pretty good except for one bump at an intersection that rattled my bones. Kind of scary actually.

yeah, so far I'm just riding on the Ridetech HQ shocks alone with no coil on it yet (blew apart a QA1, broke in half while driving after I cranked them to 1 before all the way stiff and it couldn't handle damping the weight I guess!), and I love them so far. Way nicer ride and handling than the QA1's.
Almost want to get the TQ's to mess around with now, haha.

It would probably ride better with a longer stroke shock, I'm running the 4.1"

What length spring do you have?

I agree, the longer stroke and coil will ride better.
