Wicked Fab out of Alvin, TX makes some light UCA. IIRC they include extra caster

 

I can confirm the stock and Ridetech UCAs are symmetrical. I too would like a lot more caster (~9 deg) and camber (~-2 deg) than I can currently dial in with the Ridetechs but I am not aware of any off the shelf tubular uca, adjustable or not, that has the ball joint offset. SPC has a cast uca with an offset ball joint but is marketed for lifted trucks so not sure how the ball joint angle or camber would fair in a lowered application. Theoretically the control arm for a lifted application should be longer with a steeper bj angle. IHC has an adjustable tubular that is marketed for lowered applications that may allow the caster you want as long as you don't need excessive negative camber. However, to gain that much caster and keep the wheel centered in the wheel well, the ball joints should be inversely offset on both the upper and lower control arms as a pair.

btw... how much caster are you trying to dial in? I presume this is still for a drag race application and just wanted for straight line tracking?

 

Contacted them.We'll see if they they can hook it it up.

 

I may have a small surprise, for this project. Just a slight change temporary change in direction for to help me get back super motivated. Tell me your thoughts......It will still end up with in the current direction it was going in but just for a short period I wonder how cool it would be to do a mid-90s inspired 454ss clone just done with with the 2006 body style and put it back on the street for a bit. Already talking to the engine builder. Slightly radical 500" big block chevy motor, holley efi, single kit of NOS (small like maybe a 250 shot) and put the mid 90's 454ss stickers on the bed .Just to change it up a bit, enjoy some street time....thinking a motor around 600-650 rwhp without 250 putting it around 850-900 rwhp. I do miss the the street brawling I did when it was running mid 10's aroung 125 mph. What do you guys think....waist of money and push forward with current set up or put that on the back burner for a bit and do a little something different.

 

I like the change.

 

Push forward with current setup imo

 

A setup you actually get to drive around and race is 10x more fun than a "better/faster" setup that just sits on jackstandsor or cant get a race with.

 

I’m very jewish and hate wasting money. Hence my response.

 

I hear you both, I'm really kindof torn on the idea. Over the last couple days, I've changed my mind like 4 times. I've got a super important business meeting tomorrow that is really going to determine the fate of this thing. If it goes as good as it has the potential to be I'll be back in business and racing again. If it doesn't turn out so good I may have to pull the reins in a bit.....but either way I should be making noise again this year. It has been a stupid ******* long time that this thing has been sitting. The last time my son heard it run he was in his moms *****.....he just turned 9. That puts **** into perspective that makes me a little sick to my stomach.

 

I’ve kicked around the idea myself. I think it would be a fun daily, I built my rcsb Denali for my service truck. It’s been a blast to drive it all day everyday for the last 5 years. Everyone in my town knows not to mess with the loud, black regular cab. Haha.
