JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

Did you paint the Icon coils?

 

I plastidiped them. Don't live like me - Plastidip - not even once.

I think they came out pretty good. Can and a half red plastidip, and one can of glossifier. We'll see how it holds up.

 

Lol. It looks good!

 

Gotta say.....I really do like the quality and build of the arms out of the box.
Not installed yet, so I can't speak of the ride feel (yet).

 

Can't wait to get mine in.

 

But if you're looking to buy, I highly recommend the arms. Everything rides really smooth with OME 885s and 5100s and alignment is exactly where I want it

 

....got the standard set, just waiting to get'm on with the lift....soooon but not soon enough! Like waiting for christmas! Oh wait, is that too much religion, lol, jk.

 

I do intend to buy these arms. Put my tires and wheels on, slight rubbing but not much at all. Only in reverse when turning. I have a Toytec Ultimate kit sitting here waiting for me to have time to install it. Shortly after that, the arms will be ordered.

 

That'll get things lookin right. Been seeing more and more lifted T4Rs around and they look awesome

 

Honestly on the 2016, all i'd need is 1" up front and i'd be fine. I like the look lifted a little more than that though. 285/70/17 BFG AT tires on FX Pro wheels sitting a little low in the back due to my 4 stock wheels and tires being back there and also parked on a hill. The only rubbing is on the bottom inner edge of the front section of the fender liner. I could trim it and not have any rubbing but i'm not really into cutting up my new truck lol

 

Nope lol i'll lift it and make room

 

I have rubbing on that same spot. Exactly how you describe too. In reverse only.

 

I feel that, I got a 2008 and don't wanna cut stuff which is why I stuck with 265/75 size tires. Good thing about the UCAs is you'll never have to worry about getting a bad alignment (unless you get a bad tech like I did)

 

Yeah I had a terrible experience with my 2016 Tacoma. All 4 rims scratched down to the metal, 2 broken TPMS sensors. I brought it in right after I installed the lift. They made the alignment worse than it was when I brought it in. Good times!

 

Sounds like a blast... gotta love incompetent workers that don't care about your stuff lol

 

Yeah, truck had 889 miles on it. Needless to say, they bought me 4 new wheels, 2 new TPMS sensors, and re did the alignment which was better but still not right. I gave up on them lol

 

Mine showed up in the mail today. Before I open the box up and get all light in the head with excitement and put them on, is there anyone who purchased the standard arms and then wished they had purchased the HD ones? Is everyone pretty much happy who go the standard ones?

 

Nope, nothing exciting like that. I'm on 255/85R16's and my adventuring is out on trails and logging roads. Thanks.

 

Wow, OK...I think these will suit my needs just fine.
