    exactly. if I had a 0 offset wheel I would probably be good to do some plastic trimming and leave the cab mount alone. I dont. I will also not run a 0 offset wheel and do plan to go to a 295 or 285/75x17 in the near future I had a solid shot at leaving the cab mount alone with the -10 offset wheel and 285/75's. Not with the DK arms. I was trimming fender liners, pinch weld and a bit of fender, cleaning everything up and painting last night lol

    Looking for some input.
    Currently have Icon and been hearing a “popping” noise. Took it to a reputable shop and looked around and tightened a few bolts here and there but the noise is still there, they suggested if it’s coming from the UCAs then it could be due to a bad delta joint or bushings? I may have damaged the bushing when I attempted to maintain them.
    Either way…now I’m either looking at swapping the delta joints and bushings or just spend a few hundred more for JBAs (MED) I don’t rough her up too much and it is my daily driver.
    Just looking for thoughts and opinions for JBAs and the maintenance
    I also understand the noise could also possibly be something else.

    It’s probably in the delta joint. Maybe in the frame pivot bushings, but mostly likely in the delta joint. I’d swap the joint and see what happens.

    if you do end up going to new arms, I’d steer clear of SPCs. I’ve got a few hundred miles on my dirt king arms now with 0 complaints. I cannot comment on JBAs, never run em.
