    So I installed the JBA HD UCAs and I am getting wicked rubbing in the wheel well towards the cab. I am not lifted yet but was tracking that these should still run fine until I lift the truck. The only thing that has changed is the UCAs. Caster is 3.8 on both sides which if anything I thought would move the wheel more towards the front. Any input would be great !!!!

    P.s. these arms are sick. I had TCs on my previous taco and I think these are superior. Build quality is on point and greaseable BJ is awesome.

    Thanks for the quick response brother! Always on top of it. Unfortunately, I am kind of maxed out on what I can trim at this point. Any other ideas? May just have to get the lift sooner than I had planned.

    Why do you need 3.8 of caster?

    Interesting Does anyone know when he started using the new coated ball joints? I just got mine a few weeks back so I'm wondering if I got the new coated ones or the old non coated ones.

    If you have the newer ones they won't be shiny silver, they will be more of a yellow color
