What you guys think of the JBA high caster arms?

 

I have them and was perfect for my set up. The owner is super helpful, answered all my questions and even sends reminders to grease the zerks. For me the SPC had too many variables to adjust and set correctly, the JBA was bolt on with the castor built in, just align and good to go. More of a no brainer. If you are running 33's or bigger and you really need all the adjustment ranges the SPC provides, than that's for you. Hope that helps.

 

Well if you don't mind cutting your cab mounts than they are fine.

If you add Caster you are essentially moving the tire rewards towards the cab mounts.

 

Set you SPC's to "F" or "G" setting and you should be good to go for 285's If you want 35" tires than more than likely you'll need to do the CMC and pinch weld.

 

I’ve been running JBA arms for 30k miles with 255/85-16 tires and they clear the cab mounts. Mine have the stock Toyota bushings and Chevy ball joints. No complaints.

 

What do you have the SPC's set at?

 

@toku58 Mahalo for the info. I picked up a 1st gen so no cmc just pinch weld. Gonna run 255s max maybe 265/75 for less work, only lifting about 2" all around. Wanted SPCs for the adjustability if I like go bigger in the future.

That's what I'm currently set at and I get very minor rubbing when reversing and turning. My Caster is only set at 1.8. LCA cams are at neutral. (So plenty room to adjust more)
I'm moving the SPC's to the "F" setting and having the guy set my Caster to 2.0 tomorrow, that should clear everything.

 

Does anyone have a good mechanic in town they can recommend? I know this is a Toyota forum, but my 03 ranger needs some work done, and figured I'd see if anyone can refer me to someone legit. Mahalo

 

Kapahulu auto. Took my wife’s car there when we lived in town. Real good work and fair prices

Edit: oh, dang. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here and didn’t even check the date of your post! My bad for the late reply. Hope you found something.
