GEN 2 ICON UCA and Fox live shocks

sphericals don’t last long in british columbia,
less than a year and mine wear out off roading once a week or less, and an alignment is advisable every time too

Im running OEM Beadlock wheels and have no issues. The tires just barely make a slight rub on the arms when Im aired down when going over rough obstacles. No big deal at all, really just a smudge here and there. Go for it!

I'm looking at Icon UCA's and Fox 3 live valves for a '19 with stock beadlock capable wheels on stock rubber. The icon site implies you need aftermarket wheels to run their UCA, but RPG says OEM wheels ok. The downside of the RFG UCAs is they aren't greasable (I think) and I am in a lot of mud and salt.

Anyone running ICON UCA's with deltajoint and stock wheels and tires?
For billet UCA's anyone have experience how long the spherical bearings last until they get clunky or worn in adverse conditions?

I have the Icon UCA's, they fit fine with the factory beadlock wheels. And you gain a bit more clearance if you run them as an actual beadlock.

I had a hunch that might be the case, thanks.

And one of the reasons I was looking at ICON's is because they are greasable.

true the icon uca uniball is greaseable
the inboard heims are not
i believe the uniball is still going to wear with off roading
and need replacing
