    No experience with others as I have SPC's and have no complaints. I'd recommend not getting something with a uniball as the open joint will get tore up with the winter salt. The link @Larry Dangerfield is a great resource.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    SPC's are killer.

    Everyone is unloading JBA's like the plague right now, can't find a reason why

    New clutch, transmission, crawl box, and transfer case got put in place today. The worst part was cutting the transfer case wire harness and extending it. Ugh, I'm beet.....

    I have the High Caster JBA and zero complaints, or any plans on ditching them. Customer service is out of this world. As far as alignments go, I've had the Stealership attempt twice to align my truck unsuccessfully. Klamm automotive in Racine does good work, but I hate recommending places that worked out for me because it never works out for the person I give the recommendation to! They do not use modern technology, so you will not get a before and after print out like most places, just old school mechanics!

    A coworker recommended Klamm auto as well, but it has been a number of years since he was there.

    I'm having a full suspension install with caster correction and alignment at CNC Off Road in Kenosha on Friday - can let you know how it goes.

    That would be fantastic. Thanks!
    I'm thinking I my be better off with an off road oriented shop as they are morning familiar with what I need.

    I've heard good things about JBA.

    I have BDS and no issues. They have greasable ball joints with a spiffy cover to protect grease fittings.
