    I just ordered JBAs and they should be installed on saturday. Ill let you know on the alignment and how it rides because i have really bad bumpsteer and positive camber and my uca hits the coils at full droop. Im running 5100s with eibach coils and got about 2.8 inches of lift in the front and an AAL in the back

    If you're patient keep looking in the for sale threads or better yet post up in the long travel and mid travel threads asking to see if any are for sale. I picked mine up used for $600 so there are deals to be had Sir !

    Also, check this page often http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/386-scratch-dent and you'll find great deals as well.
    Actually they had some billet uppers on here but they sold, Icon wanted $650.

    The scratch and dent sale will be the best option if you can wait, also the Black friday sales are right around the corner and big deals are coming your way soon . . . all you need is a lil patience bro . . .

    Do it once. Do it right... Total Chaos. I went the LR UCA route first and experienced all of their flaws.
