    Gussets on the lower and upper portion of the tube for sure. Heck I may even buy a set if I need them after I get my coilovers adjusted where I want them. I dig the the red too :thumbsup:

    Might be interested in these......

    They look like they are really well built. And I can drive to pick them up. Only about and hour and a half away from the shop.

    I also like that they use an easy to find Chevy Ball Joint, which is beefy! And the stock bushings is definitely a big plus. Also easier to get.

    They don't compare, the LR UCAs are adjustable and these are not. So instead of just relying on the lower adjustment bolts the LR UCAs allow for adjustability at the top as well. So although the arms have a very similar design they are actually quite different. I believe LR actually has a patent on their design, but not sure if its with just the ball joints or the whole package.

    Has JBA considered putting gussets around the bushings? Not questioning his welding skills just that it would lessen the likelihood of that becoming a failure point.

    I have a question. With your alignment specs, did you ask for those numbers or were they the MAX you could get? I know a lot of guys prefer their caster to be 2.4-3.0. Just wondering if that would be attainable.

    My JBA arms are going on soon! Very beefy, well constructed. A huge upgrade from stock. I like them a lot so far. :)
