    I will be installing the JBA's this weekend while replacing my 885's with 887's. Is there any hits/tips for the JBA install that would be good to know before I get started? Thanks for the info

    Ha ha ha that's funny it will take me months to swap them over. Which is why I probably won't bother wasting his time, as he will be waiting months for the return Ball Joints.

    Don't think it that easy brother. 4 top bolts yes, then the other stuff it is connected to. No worries man, just not my cup of tea to do.

    I believe you can get them bare. Or just paint over the red. That way you get eh protection of powder coat but get the color of your choosing.

    What's the difference in the old/new bjs? If it's the same joint, just different coating, not likely. Caster is built into the arm and shouldn't change much if at all (10ths of a degree) with a new bj.

    Just read the directions and don't forget to lube the bushings before putting the UCA up in there with the washers.
