JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

what.the.fack.

This.

JBA has been working on this design for years, tweaking it, redesigning, having issues, fixing those issues, and all the while providing a solid product at a really good price.

Then these assholes come in and just steal the final design. No sweat, no tears, no stress, no designing, no issues. Simply ctrl+c/ctrl+v and now they are reaping the benefits of someone else's hard work.

 

Didn't even read that part. That's pretty low.

Better watch your own business, I suspect they'll probably release their own line of leaf springs called "Capable and not Crippled Angler"

 

Hmmm... I’ve checked my spam too. I’ll try again with a new email, different subject, and hope that it’s just a matter of one of our spam filters kicking it out.

 

Well I emailed JBA again, new email, no pictures, different subject, it apparently went through because he responded in like an hour.
I’m all set now. Thanks guys!

I’m guessing that the large pictures sent from my phone, no as attachments, caused their spam filter to kick it out.

 

Howdy guys,

Im considering getting a set of these when I upgrade my suspension. My question is, theres some uniball UCAs that need to have the joint that need replacing every few thousand miles. Thats a no go for me. Are these able to just keep going like my stock ones? Or will my performance actually end up being hindered because every month I have to take my truck to the shop to put some new joints on there?

Edited because not ball joints, uniballs

 

Grease them up they go for years

 

What UCAs need their BJs replaced every few k?

 

Glad to see you're keeping a good attitude about that. Technology sometimes can be a pain.

 

It was some higher end ones...not just one brand multiple. Total chaos comes to mind, ICON as well...I believe SPC too. Supposedly they need it pretty often if you off road because the joint is open and exposed so dirt and what not gets in there.

 

this isnt true. you need to keep uniballs clean yes, and coated, but you dont have to change them out every few k

 

So...I know I need to lube these up every 5K (tire rotation), but they wont need replacing that often? Whats the avg life of these?

 

Mall Crawler like me or do you wheel?

 

Intermediate wheeler. I go to the beach a lot and end up covered in sand. Sometimes Ill end up covered in mud. No rock crawling or anything like that for me tho

 

this

 

Keep them greased. Id start monitoring for wear every 5k, when you grease them.

 

So...5K miles? 20k? 40k?

 

You should be fine for a few years. I just make it a habit. If im going to change a air filter, I inspect it for water marks. If I grease ball joints, I inspect them. You are already there right?

 

The others have been spoken for but SPC I can speak for from experience. Grease every know and then. #notamallcrawler you can tell because I used a hashtag, don't look at my IG though because I don't have #followers to prove it

 

I dont even have a fucking IG, to busy working to post pictures of my food.

 

Instagram doesn’t even have pictures of food anymore, only instalanders in turd gens and influencers selling make up and protein shakes.
