JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

Today I installed the original 7.0 version, not to be confused with the current 7.0 version, that was originally referred to as "low caster". Before doing that I took a new pair of OEM Toyota arms and constructed a detailed grid to determine if there was any built in caster in the early set of JBA arms I acquired. I came up with about 1.7/1.8 degrees of positive caster built in over the stock OEM arms -- at least on paper. I also have a set of the newer HC high caster arms on the way and will overlay on the same grid to determine how much positive caster is built in them.

 

Is there a promo code or any discount on the JBA high caster UCAs?

 

I have about 1.75" lift in the front and my caster is maxed out at 1 degree with my stock ucas. What could i expect my caster to be after installing JBA high caster arms?

 

so no TW discounts?

 

Hey guys, would those of you running the high caster UCAs mind posting your alignment specs. Im on shop number 2 here, they wont put the caster where I ask, and they keep telling me that my truck is a PITA to align. Im getting a little fed up frankly.

With the high caster arms we should be able to align with 3-4 degrees positive caster, yes? Both shops I have gone to wont give me more than 1.5-2 degrees.

 

Here is what I'm currently at after my latest try this afternoon...

 

My toe and camber are both at 0, and I have 3.1 on one side and 3.4 on the other with my caster. My tech said it was a piece of cake to align.

EDIT: are your cam tabs seized? Maybe that's part of the issue.

 

dafuq is going on with the camber?

 

Or tabs flattened? Would that screw around with shit?

 

Brandy brand new cams installed today right before taking it to the shop for alignment.

 

Yeah, maybe! I would think one of the techs would recognize that though.

 

@Red October
My last sheet:

 

Thats why im pissed, the camber shouldnt be like that, but the guy said that's all he could get. I don't believe him.

And I checked all the tabs today when I installed the new cams, they are 100% fine

 

Me too. The tech that did mine did not.

 

Are these private shops or big corp. places?

 

Time to get total chaos cam tabs

@RedOctober if you ever wanted total chaos cam tabs, now's the time. Also I hope you smothered your alignment bolts in anti seize before putting them in.

 

Got them and a few other goodies waiting to go.
Waiting for this shit weather to leave.

 

I'm getting mine put on next week! Out weather isn't quite as bad as yours, and I'm too stubborn to stop modding in the cold.

 

Yeah, it is too freakin' cold here.

 

Debated TC tabs before doing this this time, but my tabs are all good, guess I shoulda just done it.

These are both places recommended to me for being able to work on lifted trucks. they are both corporate shops tho. I'm tired of dealing with this.
