    I have the same quick release mount but installed it on my tailgate. Used a .250” aluminum bar stock for reinforcing behind the panel…

    It would be more cost efficient to just do spacers and blocks if it’s just for looks and not off-roading. Just my .02 :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I was literally called a "sick f***" on here when I posted pics of all the mounts. I'll just stick the dedicated hunting forums for posting hunting related media. I don't need some shite bag trolling me for our conflicting ideals.

    I’d go with Total Chaos UCAs or Camburg. The JBAs have ball joints, same as the factory setup. TC or Camburg have uniball construction which will last a lot longer and can still be run without failure even when worn out…try that with a ball joint. Just sayin.

    Agree, but a zerk fitting and not having to unbolt the uca for maintenance would be ideal for OP's application. TC bushings are known to squeak, but JBA bushings will fit them.

    You got part of a metal bumper… :boink: but it looks good. The big plus is two recovery points for shackles and you can add a winch. :cheers:

    Agree, a little PB blaster gets rid of the squeak. But for the OPs application it probably works fine.

    Is it just an optical illusion or are your fog lights aimed at the sky?

    Yep, good eye, pointed up a bit. Literally lights up the entire deepest darkest forests up here in western WA.

    You sound like you can educate me on uniball style UCA. I have the camburg billet, and they are starting to squeak.
    To grease them, do you have to pull them off completely ,or just pull the long bolt slightly off and drope in some lube/grease. And how About the middle, where it's capped?
    I called camburg and they said something about tying something with fishing line before capping it to not let air in.
    Thanks for reading

    Interesting. I’m torn between Camburg and Total Chaos. I definitely want something with uniball construction.

    I know that PB Blaster works well for the leaf spring squeak. I usually apply between the leaves and in the bushings and it lasts for quite a while.

    Negative on grease for heims and uniballs. Dry ptfe lubricant only. CRC makes some (get it on Amazon) and Camburg advertises this one on their website.

    https://camburg.com/shop/suspension...s/super-lube-ptfe-dry-film-heim-uniball-lube/

    Take the cap off, spray ptfe, replace cap. Up to you if you want to pull the uca bolt to spray the heim joints. I'd try the lazy approach first and spray them without removing the uca bolts. If they still squeak pull the bolt. A little noise is normal.

    No clue on what they were talking about with the fishing line. The o ring on the cap for the uniball should seal out a bunch of debris from getting inside.

    edit: Maybe they meant Finish Line PTFE.

    Lol.. That's funny if so.. He did mention a couple PTFE products, and for sure something about not letting AIR in when you recap it..I love fishing though so that's where my mind went.
