I recently changed my mind from the JBA HD UCAs to the Dobinson's for the simple fact that I'm running their springs front and back and they have 3* of caster built in to them. It makes for an easier alignment process and they look pretty stout in design.

I have the SPC and I love the way you can adjust the camber and caster. Yes you can grease the ball joint but I also have to grease the bushing every three months or every oil change . Pain to lift truck, remove front wheels, remove the battery, remove the long bolt so I can grease the bushings.
Is ok in summer but not at 10 degree as is now outside.
Dobinsons would be a great combination

A little late, but I just had them installed on my '16 last week.
I had Toytech 3" Ultimate w/5100's and stock UCA's. Hated the way it drove.
Had the ICONs installed, night and day difference in handling.
I have the ICON dust covers on the way too.

I haven't purchased them yet. I will provide some feedback when I do get them and install them.

Ball-Joint UCA's are definitely still very popular and although we do not
sell JBA Upper Control Arms, one our our Team Members has them and
is very happy with them.
SPC has been a hot mover for us over the years, but Dirt King is coming
on strong as well.

ICON Upper Control Arms with Delta Upgrade was by far our hottest UCA.
The Delta Joint is a heavy duty high angle ball joint that combines the
durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a uniball.
ICON Delta Joint UCA #58451DJ
KEY FEATURES:
• ICON Delta Joint
• 1026 DOM Steel Construction
• CNC Bent Tubing
• Serviceable Dual Stage Bushings
• CNC Machined Bushing Housings and Sleeves
• Built-In Caster Correction
• Black Semi-Gloss Powder Coat Finish
Fits 2WD & 4WD Applications
What makes the Delta Joint unique is that it brings the best of both
worlds to ICON upper control arms with features that make it more
robust than a uniball, and at the same time capable of greater
angularity than a typical ball joint.

Do the Icon with Delta Joint and DirtKing’s work with stock offset TRD wheels without rubbing?

I got my Delta Joint UCA in last week with the other ICON suspension parts from TAPLV. It looks really robust and the finish is really durable. What I can't figure out is, is that a zirk fitting on top of the ball housing? I'm used to seeing a rounded nipple that fits the grease gun. The info and instructions say the ball joint is serviceable and needs to be greased on installation. But how or what fits that piece?
I also got my 5 ICON Rebound Rims today. I'll get the Falken Wildpeak AT3/W installed on Monday and be ready to install the lift next weekend.
Thanks to TAPLV for a great buying experience and a good price as well.

How's the alignment after? I have Camburgs and they can't quite get my caster where it needs to be (2.5ish instead of 4+)

Has anyone had issues with the ball joints on the JBA arms coming loose? They use a nylock but it's pretty useless considering the bolt is so short. Nylocks require 2 threads minimum protruding past the nylon section to work the way they should. This is one of my only concerns with the JBA arms. It's a real tough decision for me between the Dirt King arms and the JBA arms.
