What did you do to your Ram today???

Do the stock wheels clear the JBA control arms fine? I could not find any good comments on their website on whether or not they would clear the stock wheels.
I have the wheels that come with the Backcountry edition so not sure if they are the same offset or not.
No reason they wouldn't. It's not the wheels that are the issue, usually, but the width of the tires. If they are factory size tires, you will be just fine
 
That looks great. Did you need to install spacers at all ?

If I were never leaving pavement, probably not. With no spacer installed everything cleared under normal driving conditions. At full droop, however, the front tires were VERY close to rubbing the upper control arm:

In all honesty clearance is clearance and that was probably fine given the fact that the wheel wouldn't be turning under any considerable force at full droop since it's probably off the ground. I wanted a little space though so I added a set of slip on 1/4" spacers which opened things up at full droop:

Without the spacers, with the wheel on the ground, there was roughly 3/8" of space off the control arm at any angle:
