I recently ordered ICON UCA's that are the 1" uniball. Should be here this week. I just learned that they will not work with stock wheels (have the beadlocks) and stock BFG tires. I do have ICON 3.0's. I am finding conflicting information, hence why I am asking here for everyone's comment.
I spoke with Brad this morning at ICON and he confirmed theirs will not work. He said it does not hit at the uniball but at full turn (doing a U-turn for example) they will hit on the arm. He said 95% of all aftermarket UCA's don't work with stock. He said the only other options would be:
1. Replace wheels. Not looking at doing that anytime soon so please don't comment on doing that. I already invested in another set of beadlock wheels.
2. Return them. He said no issue taking them back.
3. Use spacer to gain offset but will just help, could still rub.
I do tend to air down when off-roading and at times depending on the environment, I could be turning hard. He said that will just make it worse with their UCA's.
So, what is the 5% of UCA's that work with stock wheels?
I've heard that using even a 1/4" spacer is not a good idea, why?
And if you are asking why didn't I research before purchasing, I worked with a supported FRF vendor on the order and did ask, was told that ICON works with any wheel, so I paid the premium price for compatibility, so I thought.
Thanks in advance!
