    37F89728-E72A-4FA6-A875-B0CC4EE1BF96.jpg Been upgrading components of my lift that the PO did like a spacer lift to a true suspension lift, then wanted to go from zone off-road UCAs to JBA for future ease of maintenance.

    Well from what I gathered they have about the same built in caster. Well installed the JBAs and the caster was already less it seemed like, previously I just had a BMC but after I had to mess with the pinch weld. And my biggest concern is the drastic change in camber. It was aligned before but now it has a great deal of negative camber.

    Is this considered normal?

    Edit: I know to get an alignment after but I was curious on the drastic change, thought the UCAs were similar spec wise.

    I'm going thru the same thing with my FJ Cruiser. The JBA seems the way to go for ease of maintenance. I have the Total Chaos Uni Ball on my tundra and I'm getting tired of having to remember to squirt dry lube on those balls all the time. Seems to me the JBA's are the way to go.

    No, that's not right, did you completely loosen the lower CA bolts when installing the JBA's? they may be way out of adjustment is all.

    When I installed mine I had to get both lower CA adjusted quite a bit.
