    Anyone try the JBA upper control arms yet? How are they? What type of driving do you do? What’s the rest of your front end set up?

    I bought them a year back, but just had time to install them last week (I go on business trips a lot).
    I got the Standard High Caster. My steering wheel used to shake between 55-60 mph w/ stock UCAs and they couldn't adjust the alignment anymore (have 285/75/R16 tires w/ 1.75" lift upfront).
    After I installed them, it was night and day difference. On top of that, it was so easy to lube these (you have to have a grease gun which cost like $20 at lowes). I think they have the patent for the lube points, but not 100% sure.

    I am getting an ext travel suspension w/ 2.5" lift to accommodate my added weight (bumper, winch, etc) that I added two weeks ago and when I called JBA, they had all my info saved (forgot which one if I bought the high caster or not). Works with ext travel if you choose to upgrade your suspension in the future.

    Haven't took it out to the trails yet as I am in the process of ordering the suspension and will take about a month to get here (customed tuned), but with Louisiana roads (tons of potholes), I feel like I have way more control than stock on the steering wheel.

    Why would you ask for inputs for a setup that you already bought? What would you do if we said the best part of those arms is the DVD that comes with them?
