4wp now Pro Comp Upper Control Arms are $135 on eBay.

That’s what I thought and 4WP is dissolving, correct?

As far as I know they are not. They sold a lot of their West Coast stores, at least the ones in Oregon, to Total Off Road. I think they are just getting out of the having their name on parts game.

I personally would have preferred the Pro Comp branded ones as to me, the 4WP logo on them is ugly. Cosmetic badging aside, they are the exact same part.

I’m reading a lot about UCAs and is there any concern that these aren’t any better than stock? The bushings/hardware certainly don’t look superior. Hence the price point I guess. With only 2” lift planned I was just hoping better droop/articulation. Every little bit helps.

Can't tell you without cutting them up and doing a scientific evaluation. Stock are perfectly fine unless you add lift. Once you add lift you need to shift the upper control arm joint location to get better steering geometry. I trust the 4wp ones just based on visual observations of others running them. They help with steering, but I haven't had a real alignment in 2 years so take it with a grain of salt.

Just installed some 4wp control arms, fantastic deal for adding a little caster over factory control arms. I bought these a few weeks ago and the deal is still running.

How was the range of motion of the ball joint in comparison to the stock UCA?

I've heard the stocks are tough to beat, save for maybe the icons with the joint they use.

I'm sitting at about 2.5" of lift over sasquatch and am maxed out on camber adjustment, but still in spec. I may pick these up and install the next time I need an alignment.

Looks like you can get other 4WP items for a steal too!

Still no clue what arms add more caster or have the best joints, it's just a crap shoot at this point

To get some additional camber back after lifting the radial distance of the ball joint should slightly decrease.

to get some caster back the short arm should get smaller and the long arm longer. Thus moving ball joint aft a small amount.

from the pic it looks like that is the case. Definitely a crap shoot with all the different ride heights. I think I am going to get the 4WP coilovers and theses UCAs. Just way to hard to pass up for this price. I want to run the coilovers at lowest possible lift, 2-3” over non SAS. I will probably be just at the edge of stock UCA alignment capability.

Are you running a 3” lift? How does it drive with these? Does the increased positive caster ride Better? I am hoping these provide just a mild adjustment to the king pin axis.

Drives better, the tad bit of extra caster helps with tracking and less darty. They are also shorter in the camber direction which helps as my lower control arm cam bolts are maxed. I think you see why I took that photo from that angle.

I am on 4" in the front with the rear sitting 1/4" higher unloaded. I prefer the ride at a lower setting but currently set up for ground clearance. Arms made a noticeable change in alignment and it took me 3-4 trips around town to dial it back in.

I am on a 2 1/2" front lift via Bilstein 6100's. My alignment before was right at the limit. After adding these, I have additional space to get it dialed in.

I've had them off-roading once so far and no complaints from me. For the price, they really can't be beat. At one point, I believe these were retailing for $600+

Okay I just compulsively bought a set as well. That price is hard to beat. Im gonna toss these in the shop until I find a good deal on some coil overs.

That's good to know! I always see the rears on Amazon from time to time, but the fronts are either not available or like $700-800.

Initially, I was not going to purchase any aftermarket UCAs since I have small lift (under 3") but after reading the thread @Snacktime started pertaining to recommended suspension upgrades. Well after coming across this sales, I guess it was my opportunity to make the upgrade in hopes that it will keep everything inline.
