Stock Wheels and aftermarket UCA's

[bigred1097]

I am running Icons with stock 2012 wheels and I have no rub issue at all.

The only rub issue I saw was putting the Icon Lowe control arm skids on they do rub in tight turns with stock wheel. But the upper control arms do not rub with stock wheels

Wonder if the 2014 Beadlock wheels are different in sizing???

You should not assume that the interference and thus Icons new message is has to do with the 2014 Beadlocks.

@RDFTS I have this same issue. I have a lot invested in my factory beadlock rims and I really like them. I was planning on measuring the backspacing this weekend on that rim to look for UCA's that would fit. From my research only the SVC and ICON UCA's are adjustable. Most of the other UCA's are fixed like the stock UCAs. I have heard that the ReadyLift product was designed to work with the stock rims but I have yet to confirm that.

As soon as I get the backspacing measured I will post it up. I really hope that we can find a solution that does not involve spacers.

Are you running your Beadlocks with the stock beauty ring or have you converted them to true beadlocks with the Ford Racing Beadlock ring?

I was close to rubbing my stock UCA from the side lugs on my 37" Nitto's. I got more room after I converted them to tue beadlock because the outer bead is about 1/4" wider then the stock inner bead so it shifted the center of the tire more outward giving me more space between the tire and my UCA.

BONUS: it looks alot better!

Hey Ram I have the true bead lock rings mounted up. So you can use a UCA with those when mounted as bead lock due to the shift outward?

has anyone had any experience with cam burg? their UCA's are adjustable also.

Brad did not mention beadlock or non-beadlock nor the year model.

Looks like adjustable for the 1.50. The 1.25 one states it works with stock but not adjustable.

Still want know the CONS on spacers?

Well from what I know about spacers it just adds another weak point. I do know if I was to go with spacers I would ensure they are hub centric. That should at least help the weak point issue.

I can't be sure about that.

I am still running stock UCA but I did notice more space with the outer bead moved to the true beadlock position so it is more likely to work but also will depend on what tire type/size, width/sidewall lugs or no lugs you plan to go with.
