JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

Moog Ball Joints

 

thanks Doc!

 

I've seen these in person and boy are they nice. And the ability to change out the Ball Joint right in the driveway with no alignment need is priceless

 

Hey Guys, I installed my JBA High Caster UCA's and received a new rubbing sound after they were on. Found out that at full lock my inside tire wall is rubbing pretty hard. I have 35's and a 4.5 backspacing setup. I'm wondering if anyone has used (found) 1/4" - 1/2" Spacers before. I can't find any besides getting them custom made by uswheeladapters.com. Anyone else run into this?

 

.75"

 

After reading nearly this entire thread, I bought these a few weeks ago over the Camburgs. I bought them bare, used dp90 epoxy primer and then base/cleared them. I removed a rough country spacer lift that was on my truck when I bought it and did 5100's with ome 885's and these arms. The difference is night and day. I have zero complaints with the arms, they're top notch. I've purchased UPR and Maximum motorsports suspension/chassis components for several mustangs in the past, and the quality of these is easily on par with them.

 

Pumped can't wait for mine, I will never recommend Camburg to anyone looking for UCA's These are cheaper, easier to change out Ball Joints on and from what I hear from everyone the caster you get from these are amazing. I will probably give my 1 1/2 year old Camburgs away for a cheap penny.

 

Who makes a .75" spacer for us?

 

You can find 1/4" and 1/2" spacers for our bolt patterns on eBay and Amazon but you'll need longer studs to run them.

 

I think 3/4 with my current set up would be perfect.

 

I think .75 would be fine for me too. I really don't want to go much wider because I want to be able to tuck under my bushwhackers after they are trimmed. That's a 5.25 offset!

 

Bora makes 3/4" spacers. I bought 1" spacers so I didn't have to shorten my wheel studs.

 

I installed his first set for the 1st gen Tacoma, 3rd gen 4Runner last week. Did a lift too with the UCA's.

1.25" Spidertrax Spacers and 285/75-16 BFG KO2's

 

Thanks! I ordered them @ http://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/switchtruckmodel. Otherwise I was going to have to have them custom made for $150 (only 2) from uswheeladapters.com

 

Just finished my OME 2.5" lift and get the alignment on Wednesday. After reading (and reading some more) in the old forums here, I suspect new UCA's might be desirable in the near future...

Doesn't seem like the 1st gen arms have seen a whole lotta action and review yet.

Would tire rub be an issue on a 1999 4x4 with 31"x10.5"x15 KO2's with 3.75' b/s ?

As I look at the stock UCA on the truck right now, it doesn't seem like it as the bottom of it sits level with or just above the tire, but these 2nd gen boys with thier 35" tires and complaints got me curious...

 

Got my rims and tires on today. I had problems rubbing my JBA UCA's with my previous setup when at full lock. 18x9 4.5bs fuel mavericks 275/70 /18. My new setup is 16x8 4.0bs ray 10's 285/75/16 general grabber x3 absolutely no rubbing. I have a good inch of clearance at full lock.

 

Thanks for posting, I am running 16x8 and was wondering if it would work. Looks sweet!

 

Is there anything different between the 2003+ 4Runner arms and the 2nd - 3rd gen Tacoma arms?

 

I will soon be part of the club
