The adjustability of SPC's is nice, but a competent alignment shop will get your TC's where you want them. Now... as for maintenance, those TC's are a Ferrari, where the SPC's are a Toyota. They aren't sexy, but the SPC's will require less maintenance and most likely provide all the performance you need, unless you're desert racing. Good luck!
Oct 26, 2016 · IMO the total chaos is THE way to go to get your alignment right and have a stout part that'll hold up to whatever you throw at it. For a bigger bump stop, go to wheelersoffroad.com they sell a nice thicker upgrade to replace the stock bumpstops.

Excessive lift can also change your suspension geometry beyond the factory UCA, and can affect everything from steering, travel, ride quality, excessive wear on joints and tires. In order to correct all...
Most UCA’s are relatively easy to install and can be done with common mechanic hand tools. This can be done by disconnecting from the knuckle and frame mounts from the UCA, and reattaching. Be sure to get alignment after installing.
