    Just 33s. No rub obviously. I was considering 35s. You bring up a good point on the 2 models though. I just assumed it would be the same.

    Also it was more curiosity why one side could reach 4* easily and the other only 3.3-3.4

    So am I safe with 285/75 R16 with 4.5 backspacing? That's a pretty common setup so I assume that will work?

    So I just installed my UCAs and got my truck aligned, but I'm worried that I may not have greased them properly. How do I know when I have enough grease in both the poly bushings and the ball joint?

    Ball joint they say 5-10 for when they’re brand new. Bushings I’d just do a couple pumps each.

    As per JBA website:

    Installation Notes
    install time: 1-3 hours


    Maintenance on arms
    We would recommend using a lithium based grease, one pump of grease in each bushing. Three pumps of grease in the ball joints after the install and every 3000 to 5000 miles.

    Anyone know why I had a loud pop happen when I braked hard today? From like 60 down to 20. I know I didn't hit something, and I'm not sure which side of the suspension it was on.

    They're brand new, I just did my JBAs yesterday morning. I guess that doesn't mean it couldn't be one though:)

    I have a question I had someone change over the rusted Ball Joints for a new pair, and obviously the arms stayed on during the process and I noticed no difference in alignment or tracking. So is it safe to say if the whole arm was removed to put a new set on the alignment would probably still be okay?
