T4R folks will never tire of your guys’ videos. I like that JBA added a threaded hole for the ABS bracket, my set from a couple of years ago doesn't and has the bracket zip tied to the arm. One thing I noticed is that you torqued the through bolt while it was up on jack stands… On the UCA’s I’ve installed the instructions always mentioned to torque at ride height with the wheels installed.

Since the UCA bushings are fully floating it doesn’t matter their position when the bolt is torqued. A rubber bushing is bonded to the inner and outer sleeves so it’s neutral position has to be set at ride height.

Good to know, I did see that the bushings in the vid are different than mine from 2018. The press in poly bushings with steel sleeve inserts on my JBA’s, as well as on my Readylift UCA’s that I installed on my Ram pickup stated to torque with the tires on the ground.

Any special considerations for getting the through bolt out of the passenger side?

Watch Tim and Sean's video, you have to remove the airbox and loosen the AC lines. Passenger was easier than the driver side IIRC.

Yep, they didn't mention it, because there aren't any special considerations. I didn't have to move anything to get the passenger side bolt out.

bringing this old thread back up, sorry.
Anyone have any issues with JBA? Highly consider it but also considering SPC. Talk me into/out of one another.
RockAuto discontinued SPC so unable to get it cheaper.

Mevotech branded SPC control arms are still out there. Google MEVOTECH CMS861193 and MEVOTECH CMS861192.

When I did mine, JBA's didn't have adjustable caster like SPC, so I ruled them out and went SPC. No regrets. Maybe they are different now?
