Which UCA would you guys recommend JBA or Dirt King?

I’m looking to purchase some upper control arms but stuck on which ones to invest in. I’ll mainly be daily driving and doing weekend camping and light trails.

 

Dirt King Ball Joint UCA.

Looking to get my alignment as close to factory as possible.

I don’t mind maintenance but less would be better.

Rebuild price doesn’t matter too much unless they wear out easily.

No tools to rebuild them but can install and de-install.

 

I’m going to lift 2.5” and have read its “recommended” to run UCA over 2” of lift. I’m just looking for it to drive right at that height. I’m sure I could rebuild them since the JBA ball joint bolts in but I don’t have a press for the rest of the bushings etc. if that’s what I need. Not sure how much they charge for rebuilding locally.

 

Dirt king is doing a group buy too.

 

Thanks for the response

Thanks !

 

Interesting no one mentioning about the warranty.

Dirt king: "No warranty is expressed or implied on all products sold or manufactured by Dirt King Fabrication. "

JBA UCA: "JBA has a lifetime warranty on the structural integrity of our UCAs. One year warranty on ball joints and bushings."

 

Jba is a awesome company

 

+1 for JBA. Easy maintenance and quality built. Been running it for over a year on a 3" lift. alignment was perfect.

 

Definitely happy with my JBA’s. I replaced the ball joints as part of their ball joint coating issue, they handled it well, sent me the new updated ball joints, and the replacement was very straightforward.
I didn’t like the red at first but it’s grown on me.

 

JBA

 

I would go with the JBA’s. They are on my to-do list. After my lift, my alignment wasn’t really to far off with the stock UCAs.

 

Ya neither was mine, makes me really contemplate putting them in. Lol

 

+1 for the JBAs. Replacing the parts on them is almost too easy hah. The customer service is also top-notch. I had one question and they ended up having a whole convo with me to make sure I was good.

 

I don't know how anyone can support a company that does not stand behind their own products. I get it that the natural of extreme off road but gosh damn at least have some faith in your own products.

 

Looks like the JBAs come with eternal afterlife too.... lol

 

I opened and was like “Jesus” now I almost feel like if I don’t get them on quick enough my stocks will fail. Lol

 

The DVD is still in the box for me lol.
