    Why did you repaint brand new ones? I thought the new ones didn’t have a rust issue.

    The ball joint bolt area can rust easily, that’s the main area to be coated

    Smart idea! I’ve had to remove the zerk then tighten the through bolt to release some when it looks like I overgreased

    I recently installed a 2/1.5 inch lift. I haven't had an alignment yet. I'm wondering if a "mild" lift as mine can benefit from JBA high caster STD UCAs?

    Extended travel coilovers? If so, then yes it can benefit. Another benefit is allowing the fitment of larger diameter tires

    So question for all the wheel and tire guru's. I have 5 Brand New Bronze Beadlock Wheels and have JBA UCA's Standard High Caster. Will 255/85/16 be an issue? I currently have 4 Runner Trail Wheels with 255/75/17 with zero issue. But the 255/85/16 is a bigger size.

    you aren’t changing the width of the tire, so you’ll be fine.

    the section width of both tires mentioned are 255mm wide, so that isn't changing.

    you are going to a taller tire, but not wider.
