Upper Control Arms

[YotaFun]

So here is the situation,
I have a 97' SR5 itching to have the Sonoran Steel System 1.51 (now 1.2) lift waiting to go on.
(after a powder coating but thats another thread)

But unfortunately its sitting waiting for me to come up with a solution for future rubbing issues with bigger tires.
New rims are not an option as to:
1) I want to run stock rims
2) I have heard of clearance issues with Tundra upgrade.

The Tire Size I would like to run eventually is 305 or 315 75/R16.
I can NOT run wheel spacers or adapters, they are illegal in my state.

The type of wheeling I will be doing is mostly rock trails and climbing.
There is really no where around here that I can do some high speed stuff so.

So...
I have 5 options.
And I would appreciate everyone's opinion on each option I post.
I have hear rumors of alignment issues and such, and would like to put them to rest.
I would like the good, the bad, and the ugly about each option.
And I would like everyone's opinion on what might be best for my application.
I know the prices for all of these products so I don't want that to be a factor in anyone's decision either.

Option 1) Sonoran Steel

Option 2) AllPro

Option 3) Camburg

Option 4) Icon

Option 5) Total Chaos

Please no flaming, PM me on the "your stupid" comments, or "your should have just done this, this , or that" comments
I am starting this thread not just for my own benefit, but for others that might later be in the same position I am in.

Thanks to all in advanced for your input.

you haven't really stated a budget or anything, i would say tc first choice and camburgs close second. for the hassle it takes for the core charge and shipping and everything else involved in steve's shaved option, i would try and find a reputable fabber locally and have him do it

Budget is no option really since all in the end I would be spending roughly 50 bucks within price range for each, except for Steve's which I have a line on some for.
No one locally will touch them, the steel is too thin and since its right by the ball joint there afraid to try.

well you have my vote, total chaos would be my first choice, check around on ebay since it doesn't seem like an immediate decision. i know blake got his cambugs and dhoes used altogether for like 700 bucks, talk about a steal

I should have made this a poll...

yeah he'll love me for that....

All I'll say is you get what you pay for..... There's a reason some are more expensive than others.....

With that said I'm sure you can easily figure out which would be my first choice. Hopefully Charles will chime in with his view....

I think TC would be the best bet,

one thing to note, 305s is about as wide as you can go with 16x7s and no spacers with these arms, 315s wont fit inless you have 16x8 wheels or if you have wheel spacers and stock wheels.

Ah thanks for the extra info Blake.
