How much are the UCA's?

MSRP is $699 from Dirt King, we offer them for a cool $600 even. Made in the USA, boxed, maybe one of the strongest controls you can buy.

There are multiple issues when lifting your vehicle with stock upper control arms. Both the geometry and strength are compromised due to over articulating the UCA’s. We solved these problems by designing our arms with increased castor and repositioned pivot angles reducing stress on the joints. The increased castor allows for proper alignment and improved handling. We have also replaced the weak factory ball joints with 1” stainless steel uniballs for maximum strength along with additional articulation. For the inner pivots we used durable delrin bushings with zerk fittings for easy servicing. To mount the arms to the spindle we include high grade 17-4 stainless steel misalignment spacers and F911 hardware. All of the components on our upper control arms are rebuild-able or replaceable to make this product last a lifetime. The arms come preassembled and include detailed instructions for easy installation.

Notes:

CAD designed upper control arms

Maximum wheel backspacing: 4.75"

Vehicle must be aligned after installation

2WD and 4WD compatible

Works with factory or aftermarket coilovers

 

Compatibility:

Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD/4WD 2007-2015

GMC Sierra 1500 2WD/4WD 2007-2015

*Will not work on models with aluminum upper arms from the factory

Are there two different UCA's shown for Dirt King? Which is $600?

 

And what's the full system run with King 2.5's in the front/2.0's in the rear?

The ones shown in the second post are the ones for the GM, the first image is generic.

 

2.5" King Coilovers for the front with reservoirs run $1390 delivered. If you want compression adjusters add $290 to the price. The 3.0 front coilovers are $2470 delivered and are equal to what is on the new RAM Rebel TRX concept, a very serious shock that can handle anything. They only offer a 2.5" rear shock, which runs $790 or $1020 with compression adjusters.

I don't think I run on anything that would ever need the 3.0s. The TRX is an off-roading beast, I definitely agree.

 

So it would be $ 2130 for the Kings 2.5 front and back? No compression adjusters. Plus another $600 for the DK/aftermarket UCA's.

 

Bringing the grand total to $ 2730?

Do you carry any aftermarket upper control arms that will allow the use of stock wheels (+27mm offset) ?

 

Yes, several of the arms we sell fit with stock wheels. Its going to be the tire width that is the determining rub factor.

I'm curious about this as well. I am trying to figure a setup to use stock 20x9 wheels, with coilovers and aftermarket UCA's. Do you carry anything that would work with these tire sizes:

 

1. 275/65/20 (10.8" width)

 

2. 285/65/20 (11.2" width)

 

3. 305/55/20 (12" width)

 

 

Alternatively, what type of leveling coilovers would you suggest to fit one of those tires? That should work if/when I replace wheels and have more UCA options.

 

Thanks!

Do you have factory cast steel or alum/stamped steel arms?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
