    I haven't seen any discounts on them, but their worth the price of admission. Had mine on the truck about 45k miles so far, no issues and the alignment was spot on no issues.

    I emailed JBA. They don't put the UCA's on sale. I'll order tonight. I'm sure they're worth the price, but why not save some money if you can? :D

    I'm going to buy another set, scuff them up. Paint them with PJ1 Yamaha Blue, then Eastwood Epoxy Clear. Match the Kings nicely.

    Sorry to hash on grease so much but JBA recommends Lithium grease I'm assuming for the the ball joint, but isn't silicone grease better for the polyurethane bushings?

    I dont know about everyone else, but I use Lucas red and tacky in mine. In the past I ran forestry mowers and the red and tack was recommend by name by Fecon and AFE for the cutter head lube points. Never had a lube failure.

    Will this uca benefit someone on a spacer lift? Thinking about picking up a pair now to help fit some 285’s on 3.5bs wheels. I’m going to go to a full bp-51 suspension lift down the road when I can afford it. I’d deff run this uca with that lift but will probably throw on a 2~2.25/1 spacer lift in the meantime. If it’ll help, it makes sense to grab them now in the meantime.

    I plan to run 285/70/17 Terra Grappler on 4Runner TRD Pro wheels at 17x8 +4 offset with the eibach pro lift and JBA UCAs. I think from what I understand my backspacing is something like 4.66”. Would anyone think rubbing would be an issue. I tried the JBA UCAs on my stocK TRD Off-Road with the same wheel and tire setup and it rubbed like hell. Prior to the install I was fine as long as I stayed on pavement. Hoping to god the lift and maybe alignment helps.

    Hopefully they run a sale in 2019, however if they do not I will likely pick these up at the full price.
