Upper Control Arms, JBA vs. SPC vs. Camburg

I just started using barebones after washes to keep a protectant on all my parts.

 

I’m definitely going to throw some fluid film on my UCAs and Fox shocks. I’m not worried if they look showroom ready because my truck certainly doesn’t lol.

 

I have Icon Billet UCAs. After going through 3 Uniballs in just over a year, I swapped to the Delta Joints. After just over 4 months, I just discovered a bad Delta. Maybe my truck just doesn't like upper joints.

 

What are you running for the rest of your suspension/lift?

 

Kings front and rear, Dakars. Not that it matters.

 

Right on. You wheel your truck often? Ypu know what your caster angles are? Just curious, seems like the upper ball joints should definitely be lasting longer than they are

 

JBA and dont look back.

 

I wheel twice a month usually. caster is only about 2 degrees since I installed the Dirt King LcAs.

 

Does this stuff appear "wet" while its applied on there, or does it have a "dull" effect since it is more like a wax than an oil?

 

Got my new JBA UCAs put on last night

 

So I had rims with 4.1” BS test fit on my truck and I can clear my 295s now without rubbing the UCA with 2.5” of lift on my Fox 2.5s. Seems like the 4.5” BS rims aren’t a good fit with wide 285s or any 295s. Most rims are 4.5” BS which kind of sucks but makes sense given the way these UCAs are put together.

 

This has probably been answered, so forgive me, but do the JBAs have camber adjustment? SPC has upped the game with their latest offering so once again the water is muddied

 

thanks!

 

Yeah, exactly. That’s why I said some 285’s lol, anything like a Cooper STT Pro or Toyo MT would touch. My 295s had a lot of contact and the side lugs on the X3’s aren’t that aggressive for a MT.

 

I sprayed clear enamle over mine, no rust at all

 

Are you saying the ones I bought last week and arrived yesterday should be cerecoated? Because they definitely don't look like they have a clear on them, they just look like some super clean raw steel

 

Yea I'm extremely please with the JBAs, especially knowing they are ceracoated now, the raw steel seemed to be the only "Con" of those UCAs and now that they are ceracoated clear they are perfect IMO
