I would like to add a tall upper ball joint and potentially tall tie rod end, but DSE seems to discourage this claiming that there isn't a need with the geometry improvements they already have worked into their arms. I'm assuming the discouragement may be tied back to a liability issue, but it just seems odd that they wouldn't incorporate a change like this as standard equipment?

Ultimately just trying to make an informed decision on what brand & height upper ball joint would be a safe upgrade, and if there is any disadvantage in going this route?

Im not too sure there is a need for more added travel camber gain. I believe its already in with the UCA weld in mount. Did you get a camber reading before and after the speed 3 installation?
