    Anyone with a 1st gen have issues rubbing with JBA UCAs?

    I'm looking at getting a set for my tacoma. Currently lifted ~2.5" and running 285/75r16 on SCS F5 wheels with 4.5" backspacing. No spacers. Was wondering if anyone with a similar tire/backspacing combo is running JBA on their 1st gen and how much clearance there is. I currently have no rubbing with my stock UCAs.

    Similar wheel/backspacing combo? How much clearance do you have?

    Also, nice truck!

    Perfect - thank you! Haven't been able to find any info on 1st gens with this setup. All the measurements and pictures are 2nd/3rd gen.

    Material wise they are a bit slimmer than some of the other UCAs. I am hoping they are shipping with the updated grease boots now, my current ones are cracked /weathered after 6 months. I believe they updated them to a different material

    Curious - did you powder coat the UCAs or just rattle can them?

    Powdercoat. I was not a fan of the red. Realistically unless you have a media blaster to get the red off it’s worth it to pay someone the 60 bucks to get them repowdercoated
