As I've shown in threads, MOST UCAs are made with too small of a ball, so then even with misalignment spacers the joint has less angle available than OEM ball joint. HOWEVER, superior companies like APG make theirs with HUGE balls and this allow more misalignment spacer for the same size bolt, also ICON has their Delta Joint Pro which is an improvement over OEM as well....so both of theirs does offer increased angle.

research before you buy, most are just bling without ANY improvements!!!

They both use ball joints so I wanted to see what @Big Meats Bronco’s opinion was.

I'll repost this again, again. But you do need to have more knowledge on what an UCA is doing and what you're trying to solve more so than a blanket "will this work".

There is an excellent video you should watch on thesubject.

The easiest way to find out is install the coilovers and check the alignment. I’m 26.5 inches center axle to metal fender and just in alignment, nor do they bind at full droop. I’m sure it will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but the stock UCAs are pretty dang good.
