I also like to rely on the recommendation of forum members who have tried a product and can provide reliable feedback on it. I haven't purchased my lift kit yet but am definitely leaning towards the JBAs over the SPCs now.

 

33" seems to be that magic number. Sux.

 

Maybe I can get my question answered in this rather long, detailed thread. I recently bought the TRD Pro lift. I bought the General Springs leaf pack, heavy duty and have the JBA UCA's. I believe the suspension on the Pro is the 650 springs and Bilstein shocks.
My question goes to that famous lean. Do I still need a spacer up front, driver side, like a 1/4 inch to correct the lean? I was also thinking of getting the rubber bits for the top of the front shocks. Is that appropriate? My truck has 138,000 on it and is a 2011. Someone replace the originals at some point with Bilstein shocks. I don't think the Off Road came with them stock...

 

Yes, get new bushings and 1/4" lean spacer.

 

Thank you, much appreciated!!

 

is anyone running the JBA UCAs with oem sema trd pro wheels on 285-70R17s?

 

Might be a tight fit on that wheel. Do you know it’s back spacing?

 

according to an online calculator 4.16"

 

Those JBA offer TW members any discount on UCA'S purchases ?
Hpping santa can hook me up with a set

Thanks in advance

 

JBA High Caster
King 2.5 700#
MK6 16x8 4.5” BS
Bora 1” spacer
35” BFG KM3

The JBA’s are an awesome product! I didn’t mind the red color except that it looked horrible with Kings IMO (so I painted them). My tires did rub as you can see in the picture above (repainted them after taking this picture). After adding the 1” bolt on spacer there is no more rubbing.

 

That looks awesome. I think I’ll have to paint my UCAs when Kong’s go on.

 

Damm

 

So I have a 2014 dclb and I just did suspension with ads remote reservoir front and rear with 650lbs springs in front with blackout14? Leaf pack and the jba HD ucas. I still have stock wheels and tires for now (winter hwy driving)I brought it to reputable alignment shop here in town and gave them the printout from jbas website and requested range of numbers . They didnt seem very responsive to the info I provided nor did they have any idea about the esp reset from the jbas website. Here is the printout and specs from the shop and just wanted to see if these look ok and do I need to get the esp reset done at the dealership?
Also was wondering if I need to add a kit for the driveline if it starts to vibrate or is this lift mild enough not to need it? Lift is about 2.5 front and just over 3 in rear (no weight on truck). Thanks kindly for any input.

 

They done fucked up.

 

Anything more specific? This shop apparently does a lot of lifted trucks with aftermarket suspension and I think that's why they just assumed they always know best. Tech did say they set it for bigger tires and rims since I'll be changing these next spring?

What I would like to know is do i bring it back and what info do they need? Or was this just a waste of 200 bucks. Thanks kindly.

 

Anyone?
