    Just ordered a set. :D
    What numbers would be best to tell them?

    Seeing:
    camber 0*
    caster 2.5*-3.0*
    toe 0*

    Would this be what to go for?

    Wish I had more pictures of the UCA install, but the total chaos tutorial on YouTube is all you need to see to install these

    There's a part about building the UCA which you can skip over. Make sure you actually do have extra large channel locks. Mine were not large enough and I had to walk to the hardware store mid install to get some lol

    No problem!! It's very helpful. It will outline every single tool you will need. You won't need the English sized end wrenches and sockets. Those are for building the TC UCA which is irrelevant for the JBAs

    VVT-i just kicked in yo!
    After reading and researching around the site and this thread, I think I'm going to go with Billy 6112's up front on notch 4 or 5, Billy 5160 /w RR on the back, OME Dakar packs in the back, and the JBA HD UCA's. The JBA seem like some of the best and a really good fit with the newest Bilstein generation.

    It's going on a daily driver that also does moderate to heavy trails. Old logging roads, nasty forest service/blm roads, etc. Anyone got any advice or critique? Any feedback or criticism is appreciated.

    Trying to soak up as much as I can before I start installing.

    I would say you have a solid set up there.
    Going to do the ECGS bushing while you are in there?
    Is it the new Dakar pack? With added squeak inhibitors?

    No I wasn't thinking about the needle bearing but I just grabbed one. Thank you!

    I was looking at the CS047R pack. Not sure if that's the newest or not.
