Going back to stock-ish?

Looking for some opinions/thoughts...

I've got a 2021 PRO & currently am running the full coachbuilder setup with his steering kit & aftermarket JBA UCA's. I previously had a 2015 PRO with just his shims & shackles with no drivability issues at all.

I'm going to be putting the stock outer tie rods back on, simply for ease of maintenance and to be less of a hassle when alignments are needed etc..

So, what are your thoughts on just having the stock UCA's put back on at the same time as well? Or would you just let the JBA's ride?

 

No leave the UCA on. Why take them off?

 

I was going to convince you not to take them off, but if you are, sell 'em to me lol.

 

Honestly just to simplify things.

 

Do you have any lift at all? If so, going to stock uca’s will hurt rather than help

 

Standard TRD pro fox setup with an extra 1" from the strut shims. So, within range of what the stock UCA's can handle. I just added the JBA's at the time for the added castor built in, but weren't necessary.

 

If there’s no lift, and you just want to swap back out to OEM, go for it.

All it is your time and money if you decide to. Doesn’t hurt anything at all. Should be fairly simple to uninstall, plenty of videos for you to watch on how to remove UCA.

Although you are going to be required to go and do an alignment again to get everything to factor spec once the change is done - otherwise expect wear on tires immediately.

 

I'm running the stock TRD pro fox setup with an extra 1" from the strut shims. Which is realistically within the range of what the stock UCA's can handle. I just added the JBA's at the time for the added castor built in, but weren't necessary.

Know that for sure about the alignment.

 

Those are the CB shims right?

 

Yeah, they are.

 

Not much trouble to remove then.

 

I'm leaving the shims and the shackles, not messing with those.

 

Will with the shim, the uca gives you extra adjustability which oem does not. Unless the balljoint is shot, just keep it on there. My thought.
