    HDs or standards? Like the little dust caps for the grease zerks that's a nice little touch.

    Standard. And after seeing these I can’t imagine anyone needing HD, these are probably 5x stronger than stock

    Rocky at Lacy’s. He’s the only one who has ever done alignments on this truck.

    Kind of had a tendency to wander a little at speed, hard to describe because it didn’t have play in the steering feels stock now due to the built in caster on the JBAs

    Pop them in. Took me about 2.5 hours by myself including adding 1/4” top plate spacers. Would be faster with a helper.

    In the old Croatan near EI. Hot, dusty, and flies all over the place. Tried to get the new suspension to flex, but no go..

    I see you all talking about the truck wandering. I have the spc light racing uca’s and such. The truck rides so much better than stock I am really happy.

    I have noticed it does move just a bit at speed, but nothing crazy. I am hoping a (-) offset rim with a touch wider stance will help. I did remove the sway bar so believe that may be my culprit. We are going to try and hit better alignment numbers with new rims and tires when the time comes, but happy where I am with what i’ve got..

    How much caster were they able to pull ? They have 3* built in, so 4* should be fairly easy to obtain, I would think...I'm now looking at buying the same ones, I didn't realize they were as cheap as they are.

    Installing them might be a PITA since the third gens have more shit in the way to get the bolts out.

    Not sure but he was able to get them set up the way he wanted no problem. I did a ton of research and talked to a bunch of people and JBA is the way to go.

    Good deal then, I'll go ahead and order some. My truck wanders all over the road at highway speeds, and I drive a lot of highway with my daughter in tow...it's very unpleasant and makes me nervous AF on I85.

    Shit, just driving on 85 makes me nervous. Every time I come to an exit I wonder which car is going shoot across all three lanes to barely make the exit.

    Ah, yes. I guess these exits really sneak up on people while they are busy texting while driving lol

    Had a run in with that on 77 last week, still waiting on their insurance to come look at it. Body shop said 2 weeks under the knife - good thing I leave for vacation in 3 weeks :(
