A final update after talking with Charles over at JBA this afternoon. First, JBA has been nothing but responsive, personable, and full of insight! I got a deep dive into their manufacturing and QC process and learned quite a bit about chassis construction and even a couple of old stories that...

Thanks. I'll post in here what they say. I've followed your build here and on insta for some time. Always appreciate the details. I was definitely taking some notes! The Carli UCAs were on my shortlist with the JBAs and Cores. On my next truck I'll probably do their whole Commuter package. But...

That's great to hear. Do you recall any sort of clarifications or explanation they had?

It seems like it was about 2/16" - 3/16". Not quite the width of one side of the black bushing.

Yup... I had a very similar thought. When I ordered these, JBA emailed over the install PDF before the arms even shipped. I had a weird look on my face when I read that. But, my local off road shop uses these on a couple platforms and swears by them. They said they never had to bend anything...

That's an older model with the old style sway bar. The front of the truck is to the right, so I think that is a passenger side picture. But, I do see why you'd think that. Took me a minute of staring at that picture lol

Well after about 2 hrs of deep thought and a phone-a-friend card use yesterday afternoon... With two ratchet straps over each bushing wrapped around the frame rail, LOTS of bushing grease, and a small pry bar through the bent tab's bolt hole, I was able to get this at an angle where I could...

They are stamped DS and PS so no, I've that correct. The BJ is supposed to be slightly behind the strut in this case with the built in caster in these arms. I know the pictures may be a bit difficult to tell, but the sway bar being in the rear should help orientate a little bit. Like I said, the...

Hi all, I have an interesting issue and JBA is closed until Monday and I'm trying to get the truck back rolling... I have the Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2 and have removed my old KSP Upper Control Arms (not important, but after 10k mile both of these started ball joint sleeve leaks and the bushings...

Man, fantastic write up and fantastic rig. Summarized in one page things that I spent weeks looking for! I've got a '24 Big Horn 4x4 on the same Methods with 35x11.5 Falken AT4s. I went with the Eibach Stage 2 kit all around. Some KSP UCA's until I change them to something better soon. Not...

Well, got the end links installed. Pretty simple, other than the hard to reach top mount locking nut on the back of the sway. Read the (brief) instructions carefully, washer placement, torque spec, and alignment are crucial. After rebalancing 3 tires earlier this week, which according the Road...

I've got a '24 Big Horn with 35s and the Eibach Stage 2 kit (about 2 5/8" front lift settled). Got a bit of an inconsistent dribble at varying speeds, so I'll try rebalancing the new set of Falken AT4Ws. It seems with the array of weights on them the dealer was "chasing" the balance a bit. I'm...
