Upper Control Arms, JBA vs. SPC vs. Camburg

When did the cerecoat start? I feel I may of been too early since I think I already see the start of some rust on one of my ball joints. Oh well, it’s my own fault really. I didn’t spray them down with fluid film right when I got them.

 

Wonder how well the cerekote holds up compared to other popular coatings.

 

I get how cerkote works I have a few firearms coated. I am talking about long term holding up to rock chips and stuff like that it will be interesting to see the results. I was wondering when cerekote and others like that would eventually catch on in the automotive industry.

 

I will be sure to keep a close eye on mine and see if they ever start to rust, if they do, I will post on this thread

 

Has any one used JBA's with stock wheels with 285/75 tires?? Or do all of you have aftermarket wheels?

 

285s on stock wheels will even rub the OEM UCAs. You'll have to run wheel spacers to clear those.

 

@Chase8059 , he's cerakoting the ball joints now. Didn't know if you saw this yet.

 

Nice, I think I saw where this was mentioned. I'll probably buy some replacements soon.

 

I have 265/75 16's now and it doesn't rub my Stock UCA's.. But was going to go with new JBA's when I'm due. So I should be good?

 

Yeah, on 265s you should be good. You mentioned 285s in your previous post which is a different animal.

 

Thank you

 

did you ever get your alignment?

 

will the stock wheels on 255/85/16 clear the JBA's with a 1" wheel spacer?

 

Yep

 

I run 285/75r16 TOYOs on OEM wheels and OEM UCAs without issue except when fully crannked passenger. I will be getting JBA arms soon

 

Hope you’re gonna be getting new wheels or spacers too. Jba arms poke out even further than oem due to the balljoint design.

 

You think they’d be okay with TRD Pro wheels and 285’s?

 

Talked to the owner at JBA and he told me they will not work with my TRD Pro wheels and 285’s. Bummer.

 

Will it work with some 1.25” spacers?

 

Why not just go with spc and not have to worry about backspacing between uca and inner face of the wheel?
