JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

Huh, learn something everyday. I just bought Fox 2.5's after a clusterhump with Toytec/Radflo trying to change the springs on my Radflo. I'm looking forward to the upgrade but I've looked at ADS in the past since they seem to have a few premium features. One thing I will say after browsing everyones offerings is that I get the feeling that there is a whole lot of marketing going on beyond the real differences between the offerings out there. Sadly, most reviews seem to be based around single buy and single company user experiences which isn't really relevant.

 

Gor a link to this please?

 

Yeah, that's why i put my disclaimer on. Here in NorCal Kings are king, and i have not heard anything bad about them. I chose ADS because a- I'm not into that blue, b- I'm into being different (JBA arms...) and c- good quality shocks

 

Talk to Marie at headstrong she’ll tell you all about it.

 

I should have dealt with them when i bought mine.
Im usually not one to bad mouth people on here but I've had it with MCM Fab. I went through him bc he just the best prices and he was out of state so no taxes.
I've been contacting him by numerous phone calls, voicemails, emails and DMs since September last year trying to get info on my setup like valving etc and he is basically just blowing me off.
Spend your money elsewhere

Don’t feel bad, I got screwed by Toytec and by the way they are treated on here would make you think they give out free sexy favours with each purchase. I’m actually intentionally only dealing locally now on high value parts. I don’t have time for online dealers to mess up orders. I’ve had enough of 3x shipping charges and botched timelines of no fault of my own.

 

Thanks!

 

sad thing is they are actually a full fab/race shop in Las Vegas, but it looks like the owner Matt doesn't care about customer service just about getting your initial purchase money. Or maybe the $3500 i spent there isn't enough to warrant his time

 

No problem! Obviously second hand info isn’t quite as good, but I’m sure ADS could be contacted as well.

 

Sadly while I only was burned for 1k by Toytec the fix for my truck cost another 2k. I’m not a happy customer and I’ve voiced it to them. The worst part is they attempted to make it right but messed up twice. By the time they had a solution that would work, I was out of time and no longer wanted to throw cash at shipping things back and forth with them.

 

Are they touching at full drop(coil,uca)

 

Nope. About a finger width of room. Clearly built for a 2.5” coilover to clear.

 

The picture is deceiving. Nice looking drop you got there.

 

Can I jump in here. What would happen if I put the high caster version on and only lifted the front about an inch or two at the very most? Would I end up with too much caster that can't be adjusted out?

 

I was wondering the same thing! I have some 6112's on order and plan on using the 1.1" setting to level the truck...

 

Then here is a question. I am putting on my UCAs before my coilovers. So they will be on a stock suspension for a little while. Will this be an issue? I didn’t think it would that is why I was putting them on first.

 

So is there any benefit to putting the standard JBA UCA's on if I'm only going to lift the front about an inch or so? Will this give me more down travel?

 

Ok thanks
