JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

No you need to use the ones that are already on your truck

 

The ones on my truck on the nut side are boned and completely rusted. Do you know what size and grade they happen to be so I can try to find them from a specialty hardware store?

 

Unfortunately I do not sorry

 

You will need 4 of these 2 per UCA

Perfect, thank you. I was looking all over for that parts diagram or what Toyota called the part.

 

Also I have the factory 08 TRD Sport 17" Wheels, I doubt I'll have any issues but I figured it's worth checking.

 

Nope those will be fine

 

Awesome thanks for the help, everything has been ordered!

 

Just got done putting mine on this morning. Have wheel alignment done tomorrow.
I also bought new upper arm bolts and cleaned and reused my old washers.

 

Are those holes for zerk fittings on the mounting arms? If so you might want to put some zerks in there or plug them before you get dirt and debris in there.

 

Actually they are not for zerks as he switched to OEM type bushings which are sealed. He sent me some small threaded pieces to put in there I will see if I can find what they are.

 

You will need 4 of these type screws to fill the holes.

Those worked perfectly on yours Rick.

 

Joe @Blackout14 you should add this to the first thread as if he will be putting these holes in from now on people will need to know this.

 

I didn't notice they were stock bushings but thought I would mention it. Didn't want him to have to replace the bushings way down the road and have them seized in there because they were rusted. It's good to know too because I haven't bought mine yet. I have to wait until I get my tax money back next year so I'm just a lurker on here until then.

 

So why exactly should I choose these over light racing uca's? (besides the gorgeous powder coat that will match my truck )

I'm planning on running 255/80/17 with 10 offset with 2 inches of lift (undecided what lift). I don't think I would rub on these which leads me to beleive I should be choosing them.

 

Is the high caster going to prove an issue with my tire setup?

 

I rub plastic in the back inside corners. Enough that no shop would let me leave with them mounted. But they don't deal with this kind of stuff almost at all. It's all Chevys on spacers around here.

 

No they are a set screws for the inner steal through hole tube for the bolts.

 

Mine came with them installed except for the break line bracket hole
