So what is the degree range of a uniball using the high offset spacers?Right now, my truck maxes out the ball joints on lift, and I'm not even clearing the wheels, I still need another 1.5 to 2 inches to go.  I'm using CanDo Toyota swap arms on my mazda with a 5" bodydrop, and the balljoints are topping out on lift using just my garage compressor, maybe 80lbs.I was looking at using the uniball cups from Ballistic Fab, and putting those in instead of the balljoint cups.  Would this make enough of a difference using a single shear application, or would a double shear be the best way to go?

It depends on the brand, the size of the ball, and the size of the bolt you step down to. The ones from Ballistic do 34 degrees with a 9/16" bolt, but they bottom out on the cups they make earlier than 34 degrees. A spacer works to get the actual 34 degrees out of them, but it's moving your pivot. I have some in the shop that do 39 degrees on a 9/16" bolt with the housing on, but they don't work with a Ballistic cup. And they are also a longer spacer, which is still going to probably move your pivot away from where it is intended to be.

I was looking at the 1" bore/ 2.125 od ball (QA1 part AIB16T) with the 1" to 9/16" high misalignment.   Where did you get the ones that have the 39 degrees from as I haven't started any of this yet, I'm just looking at my options right now?
