    I meant more positive caster like 2.5-3. But if you like how it drives. Drive the hell out of it and just keep an eye out on tire wear.

    The truck looks amazing by the way!

    I only mentioned the ball joint cuz I didn’t know there was 2 warranties out for 2 previous coatings. This is my 2nd change out

    Hmm. I changed out probably back in November. Is that the newest coating? My previous set was more shiny chrome looking. My new ones are the dual silver. Same coating they use on weapons and stuff. Thanks, btw.

    If they start looking like mine did For the 2nd change out within 3 months it’s not the new coating lol.

    Anybody put 285/75R16 BFg ko2 on a 3rd gen with factory Trd offroad wheels and jba upper control arms? I’m looking at this avenue but the BFg website says minimum 7.5” wheel required. I’m planning on cmc too. Any thoughts?

    You'll need wheel spacers to fit the tires

    I plan on 1.25 spacers. Will they actually fit on the wheel or is it too narrow?

    You need to know what size your wheel is and you'll be able to answer that.

    They might be 16x7. I've seen people put that size tire but I'm not sure if it has any negative effects.

    Yes. It looks like there is a metal sleeve between the uca and the bushing as well. I have the first edition with no zerts to grease the bushings.

    Ok, you'll need to get the rubber and the casing out. Kind of a bitch. I torched the rubber with Mapp gas until all of it was gone. Propane takes forever. Then you have to score the shell of the bushing with a metal cutting blade such as a hack saw. Do this top and bottom. Then beat the shell upwards to deform it, the it should come out easily. I wouldn't suggest the bottle jack method as you could bend the control arm. Putting the TC bushings in is super easy compared to getting the old rubber out.
