JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

I talked to Marlin today and he said he's shipping out the arms in a week or two. Pretty excited to see how these work!

 

so to clarify, you are still up 3+ degrees and love it?

 

Just got the call. My high caster arms have been shipped.

 

Are you a brand new owner or are you someone who's getting the free replacement arms? Just curious...

 

Brand new. I've been planning on ordering a set from the beginning. Every time I get the funds together there seems to be an update to them. This time I got up the nerve to press the order button.

 

isnt the main focus more camber when lifting a truck? camber is the cause of expensive tire wear. sorry i didnt want to read through 27 pages.

 

based on you alignment numbers, they work pretty well and with a price tag of $450, that's awesome. im running tc uca and my camber is at 0.1 each side and caster at 2.4 each side. also found out it takes a good alignment tech to get you the desired numbers after going 3 times and to a second shop on the third.

 

takes too much time to mess with the adjuster on the LR arms thats y. shops are lazy and try to maximize their time for profits. the first shop was so bad they left my caster like 1.5 degrees off from side to side. was getting terrible pull. and their excuse was that im maxed out. bs.

 

Anybody who's getting free replacement arms heard from Marlin about when to expect theirs? Last I heard from him he said he'd be in touch so I'm just curious if others have gotten anything more specific than that.

 

Anyone start receiving them yet?

 

Got mine Wednesday. Haven't had a chance to check them out with everyone home for thanksgiving break.

 

I heard from Marlin on 11/17 and he said they were in production and once completed he'd be boxing up a set to ship out to me and that he'd be in touch. Haven't heard hide nor hair from him since, although I didn't really expect to given the holiday. As an FYI I'm one of the folks waiting on a free replacement set of arms.

 

My replacement was shipped today!

 

As was mine

 

I'm just trying to get a set to replace my overpriced Camburg arms that got me barely 2.2 of Caster

 

I also got notification that my replacement arms shipped today. I know what's first on my weekend plans now

 

all of you guys that are getting replacements - did you contact Marlin to send them to you or did he contact you? I haven't heard from him so just wondering

 

what are his requirements for replacement - does he want proof of low caster numbers or does he just ship them? reason I ask is last time I got an alignment they JUST managed to get me to the 2.5 I asked for, but I am currently not very lifted (1.5ish)
In a few weeks I will be getting a whole new suspension and going up to about 3" and for sure will not be able to get those numbers, but I don't want to go through the hassle of tearing the truck apart to change the suspension, get an alignment, discover I'm not in spec, wait for new arms, tear the truck apart to replace them again.

I'd rather have the new ones ready so when the suspension arrives I can do it all in one and be done with it.... I'm getting tired of changing these arms out, done it 3 times now

 

@tyfoon11 I contacted him directly and referenced this thread (and statements from blackout14) and he said he would be in contact once the new ones were produced (they were still in production when I contacted him). I gave him my name and address so he could reference his payments and past shipping and today I got an email from him saying the arms shipped. I didn't have to explain my situation, alignment numbers, or produce any receipts for him to do this. I was pleasantly surprised but as I mentioned, I'm sure he has a good database of past purchases. I'm sure he will discuss your options with you and be more than fair as it is evident he is certainly concerned with customer satisfaction.

 

cool, thanks!
