JBA VS SPC

Which control arms would you guys recommend, I wanna hear your experiences and recommendations;

I will have a “2.5 front lift with 5100’s (no lift in the rear just stock), and pretty much a daily driver..no off-roading just occasional beach trips,

thanks

 

I have the option to buy some SPC UCA for $250 that where just installed and taken right off or brand new JBAS

 

I have probably 130k miles on my SPCs and I’m super happy with them.

Love the adjustability.

I’ve rebuilt them twice now but have no complaints.

That said, the new style bushings on them are supposed to be kinda shitty and don’t last nearly as long as the old style.

 

i heard a lot of alignment shops do not know how to align with the spc

 

yeah i heard the ball joints also dont last on these..

 

I’ve got ~60k miles out of each pair of ball joints on mine.

The newest version of them is supposed to be the best.

 

did you have a hard time finding someone to align it

 

One thing I like about the jba is that apparently it’s easier to change the ball joints, how hard is it to change it on the spc, do you have to use a specific one from SPC

 

I've been through SPC's and TC's. They're good when they work and aren't knocking around. I switched to JBA's based on their design and ease of maintenance (for their bushings and ball joints). I haven't had an issue since I installed them last year. I'm wasn't a huge fan of the Red color, but it's grown on me.

That said, I know people who've had SPC's for years and no issue. I think they're one of the most adjustable UCA's.

 

I have JBAs. 90k on them. Original bushings and ball joint absolutely zero play. Just ordered some new bushings and ball joints just to replace them cause I drive a lot. Zero issues with the power coat on them too. Customer service is excellent.

 

after replacing xaxis joints 4 or 5x every 10k miles i wouldnt touch a set of SPC arms with a 10ft pole. Stick with something that has poly bushings or better yet stock style rubber bonded bushings at the chassis and a ball joint at the knuckle.

 

JBA. If you get a bad set of SPCs, the return process is a 100000000x headache. They've had bushing problems for years....Buy JBA

 

Welp boys just pulled the trigger on some JBA .. pockets crying a bit right now

 

You won't regret the purchase!
Outstanding product, and great company!

Cheers

 

Good call OP.

JBA >

 

Great purchase. You won’t be disappointed.
