does any one know if there are any uniball upper control arms for 03-06. Or if an F150 UCA will work?

F150 will not fit, the expy control arms are about 2" wider at the mount and I haven't been able to find any aftermarket one that will fix the angle when lifted, I believe the only solution would be longer spindles but haven't found those either without buying a whole kit.

Thanks waldo, I'm just worried about a ball joint ripping out. I had a lifted 03 explorer and had to upgrade upper control arms to guarantee that the ball joint wouldn't rip out and cause major damage

Hi Josha77 they do not make very much in the way of after market for our 2nd gens which I am sure you are finding out. I have 3.5/2.5 and have been running the set up for about over a year, I go off road often with out any issues so as long as you bought good ball joint you should be fine. Just my observation
