What are the choices for UCA replacement on lifted Liberty's? I know JeepinAl's are for lifted Liberty's but what if any other choice is there? I plan on just getting Al's but figured I'd check with you guys first.

On another note I currently have the contact issue at full droop and am hoping this will eliminate it.

I think it's Rusty's that make another set of arms, but they are a direct knock-off of Al's, so most people boycotted them.

Then again, Al no longer owns Jeepin' by Al, so it might not be a problem anymore.


***EDIT***

OK, just looked at Rusty's site. They have no price for the arms, which I'm assuming means they don't have them in stock or don't sell them anymore.

Yeah I just googled for arms and found Rusty's. But they don't say if they're for lifted or not. They might just replace OEM. JeepinAl's states his are for lifted Libs.

Last time I checked on Rusty's arms, they weren't selling them, yet.

Rusty's ARE for a lifted liberty, according to AL they are the same as his

Thanks guys. I called Rusty's, they said that they have been selling their arms but are currently out of them. They would not have anymore made until July sometime. I went ahead and bought Al's, since there seems to be so much positive feedback on the forums. Just hope they aren't too big of a pain to get on. Thanks again.

Spicer also makes some..

Al's arms are the only arms that are made to fix the alignment issue that the franken lift gives. They are also known to break.. :?

I have the 3rd gens. If someone is able to break these then they're doing something wrong. :?

I called rusty's before i bought al's and rustys told me to call back in a week and he'd have some says he just sold out. Al on the other hand didn't b/s me one bit. Answered every single email i sent and trust me I sent a bunch. Al was sold out when i called him. I explained I needed them before a specific date. He said he would see what he could do. He had them at my door 1 day before the scheduled lift date. Awsome person to deal with. Oh and rusty's told me al uses a ball joint and the rusty's arm uses some other kind of joint which of course he claims is better. The ball joint al uses is no joke, makes the factory one look like it came off some little kids powerwheels :lol:
