[ryan87]

iv got a really loud pop coming from what i think is my ball joint. gets better after being greased but needs it every couple weeks. sound like a bad ball joint? also no one can make my truck drive straight anymore, they did get 4 degrees caster though

Found this on the JBA site,

"ESP reset after alignment"
What is ESP and has anyone had issues with it. Best I can figure, it has something to do with tow and steering wheel alignment.

Running JBA’s with 5100/Wheelers T1-T13 lift with zero issues and straight forward installation and alignment. I will post up my alignment sheet from RPM Garage in So Cal shortly. These guys have done thousands of Toyota lifts and said the JBAs were no different than any other UCA to install.

Very nice! So, RPM does alignment as well as installation? I was going to have the Truck Stop install some 6112s that I have but I don't think they align.

Absolutely! Call Steve and he will take care of you...

Do these arms move the wheel forward like the SPC arms? Obviously they don't have the adjustability of the SPC arms but I'm hesitant on going with SPC and the JBA seem like a much better product quality wise. Currently running just under a 34" tire with minimal rub on the mud flap on stock wheels. Would maybe step up slightly in size if these allowed for moving the wheel ahead. I'd be installing aftermarket Method 701 trail series wheels.

Guys 2014 TEP here and just installed the FJC Bilstein TRD Pro kit last week with Daystar 1.25" front isolator and T13 rear springs. Gained a little of 2" up front and 1" in the rear. My wheels are the stock trails with 275/70/17 KO2's mounted.

I have these UCA's on the bench and ordered them because the lift was such a screaming cheap deal and I wanted get the benefits of aftermarket UCA's. Not building a heavy wheeler, more of a sleeper that's capable when pushed.

Question, anyone have the stock trail wheels with these arms? Any rubbing issues with these arms? Don't really want to add spacers or buy new wheels and I'm hesitant to throw the JBA's on there to find out I have a problem since its my DD. Thanks.

What did you end up with. I have a Trd off road and want to use these with the stock wheels no spacers and 275 70 17 bfgs

JBA's will be awesome with stock wheels and no spacers and only 275 tires. Like most aftermarket high caster arms people put on after lifts, you can get a little more caster dialed in from the lower A arms while keeping all other measurements within spec.

I just installed my JBAs and I love them. Seem EXTREMELY well made and the sealed (and easily replaceable) ball joint is fantastic. Plenty of clearance and angle.

I would add a pic but all my pics are too big for the upload and the stupid uploader doesnt auto resize.

I just installed a set of these the other day and they are extremely well built and went in a lot easier than I was anticipating which was a pleasant surprise. I'm taking it in for an alignment and my new SCS wheels on Mon looking forward to it.

I get email reminders to grease the ball joints. Lol

 

[Globetrotter78]

Just installed mine and LOVE them. Easy install (yes the washers are tight but only a few mins of cursing) and they look and perform beautifully. Plenty of clearance between my Icon at full droop.

Just installed mine over the weekend and love them. Got new shoes and an alignment and the caster was 3.5 on both.

The washer wasn't too bad used a thin layer of grease on the bushing faces like the instructions asked for and just all just pushed it in from the back as it got started and went right in.

I installed my JBAs a month ago and I'm getting bad rub on the drivers side rear wheel well and frame. It only rubs turn hard left in reverse.
The drivers side tire is 1 inch closer to the wheelwell. Taking it back in Monday to have them look at it again.
265/70/17 wheels and tires
Demello bumper
Bilstein 6112 coilovers with heavy upgraded springs for the bumper
have the 6112s two notches higher on the drivers side to compensate for the driver lean from the battery and fuel tank.
