JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

We match

 

nice! I’ve added some more preload/lift since that pic and I’m glad to get my alignment and ride great!

 

I did as well as I added a Relentless Fab Lower Stingray Winch Mount, and a Smittybilt X20 Wireless Winch plus SOS Concepts front skid.

 

I need to look into winches. What made you go with Smitty over Warn (if you compared)?

 

Price and a deal I got

 

I thought you got rid of your kings Rick?

 

First set I sold to someone then bought new ones with 650 springs

 

Nice. They look great.

 

Thank you

 

Alright so I contacted JBA about making lower control arms, and it turns out they are working on LCA’s. JBA said there were some changes in engineering, and “have to machine the ball joint mounts and then we are ready to weld the prototypes.”

LCA are in the works!

 

Sweet they gave me the same info mid 2019 as well.

 

Been waiting for over two years. Hopefully this time it will happen.

 

It could happen, I bent the front axle on my 56 Ford, hit a washout on a road outside of Red Mountain, Ca. 130-140 miles back to the Valley-DV, and ate the fronts down to the wear bars on the inside. Ended up junking the truck, frame was bent as well as the front axle.

 

I had a bad set of blown fox coil overs that i thought was the issue causing the scalloping on my tires so they were replaced with billies W/ 881's and rotated the rear tires up front that had good even wear, got the truck aligned and they never said anything was off or out of spec and it drove decent

300 or less miles later the good rear tires are now scalloped exactly the same. so i'm thinking its possibly from bad alignment and i bought some JBA UCA's and they got here today. ill have em installed and aligned soon

so has anyone experienced this kind of tire wear and was it fixed with new UCA's and a proper alignment?

also will the tires begin to wear evenly again (ill be rotating them regularly to try and help get em worn normal again) or are they jacked off permanently?

 

What’s the difference between these two? I’m in the market for a UCA

 

One's EXTREME


Jump dunes much?

 

So I’ll be fine with the cheaper one? Just needing that 3deg caster.

 

'Standard' vs 'heavy duty'

 

Does anyone happen to have a picture of a side profile with 285/70's on 2-3"? I'm trying to see how visible these will be once everything is installed. It seems like they'll be pretty hidden but my whole truck scheme is white/black/grey and red would definitely pop. Thanks in advance if anyone can post some side pics (i went back like 10 pages and found a few shots but not many)

 

Hey TW I need some advice. I’m almost about to pull the trigger on some Fox DSC extended coilovers soon and I just want to make sure these UCAs would work on my rig.
I currently have a 4” Maxtrac spindle lift so I plan on running the Fox coilovers with zero preload and just some on the drivers side to counteract the lean. Will these UCAs work with little to no lift? I’ll probably gain like ~0.5 inches of lift from just the springs being a higher rate than stock. Any advice will
Be appreciated.
