    You can see where youre rubbing on the uca. I was rubbing in the same spot and corrected it with a set of .75 BORA spacers.

    I dont have the jba ucas.... but yes, with the .75" bora spacers, the studs will protrude a lil bit and wont be flush. Go to 1.00"and you will clear. Thats my experience.

    No I didn't have to do any cutting. My Methods have relief cuts.

    Sup Joe? Do these come ready to go out of the box or do I need to grease them before using them?

    I'm running 295/75 r16 and I rub in that same area at full lock. Does anyone know what I need to do to make it not rub at full lock?



    That's what I used. I didn't even read if I was supposed to use a certain grease.

    Excellent, my wheels measure around 4" of backspacing. So I think my 285/75R16 GrabberATX will clear:fingerscrossed:

    With the .75 spacer on my Methods with 4.75bs, that's 4.0bs. Paired with 285/70-17 Cooper SR MAXX, I clear the JBAs perfectly. Plus I now have the same amount of tire sticking out the sides up front and out the back.

    Nice. I'm considering those exact tires next. What are your thoughts on them and that size? Also, what backspace do you have?

    Unsure about wheel backspacing and whether or not I'll rub with JBAs so bear with me... my question is in short: Should I go with the High Caster UCAs or stock model UCA?

    Yes I do have a lift installed, about 1.5-2" up front, low enough that I am able to keep my stock UCAs. In talking with JBA they recommend the High Caster since it is meant for lifted front ends. Now I know most of you will say just go with what the company who makes the UCA says but I just want to know what the benefit of the high caster arms vs the stock if I am able to run my stock UCAs right now as my truck sits

    With all that being said...I've calculated my backspacing to be about 4"... BS = 4" + (-12mm offset) + .5" equating to about 4" BS. If that calculation is wrong, help a brotha out. If it's correct will I have any rub issues with either arm with 265/75/16s?
