JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

Marlin is great to deal with

 

Put them on last night




One important note is to have channel locks with a long nose at least 4 inch to grip the two layers of metal to remove the thru bolt....mine had a short nose and I had to nibble and bend instead of bending the whole piece at once but it worked!

 

My specs after alignment. Is this too much caster? It rides WAY better then stock and feels great on the highway!

 

That is alot, should be fine unless you rub in the front.

 

Theres no rubbing and it drives like a train Actually my rpm's are slightly lower at highway speeds now, I was tripping out cause it felt a little different. Off ramps and corners arnt bad either

 

Think it'll wear anything down faster being at that angle?

 

Castor is the angle of spindle compared to a vertical line, so you have the upper ball joint as the fixed position, and the adjustment is the lower control arms. So a higher castor number in your situation will put the tire closer to the front of the vehicle where a lower number than what you have will pull the tire back closer to the rear.

 

Thanks for that @DukesTaco .

Rite on guys thanks for the info I know the driver side wheel bearing can get messed up on the 4x4's an wanted to make sure it wasnt going to accelerate that process too much more then the lift has already

 

Very pleased with my purchase!

 

Beautiful aren't they?

 

Thank you so much for the recommendation @Texoma!!! Sorry it took me awhile to get around to thanking you. We were closed for a labor-less labor day last week

 

You're welcome! Glad you had an awesome holiday week.

 

It was very nice thank you!

 

Got my UCAs installed. No problems. Heck of a product I will post the numbers after the alignment tomorrow

 

What grease is best to use for the UCAs? I am getting my alignment today so hopefully I can post the numbers this afternoon.

 

I put Marine grease in mine

 

Thanks. I need to get some.
