    I have the same UCA's. I got 3.4 and 3.7, left to right, for my caster. The guy said that's as high as he could get it. The JBA's just come with a new set of inner washers, so you maintain the factory washers on the outside. It's a very well made product. For those that aren't going uniball, I'd definitely recommend JBA.

    Thanks! What’s your wheel/tire setup and do you clear the cab mount easily?

    I have Method NV's with 25mm offset and STT Pro's in 295/70R18. I clear the cab mount with about 1/2" of room at the closest point. Mudflaps are removed.

    Clear cab mount easily. Could get a little more caster on each side with a little more work. These settings kept everything else in check and the truck drives perfect.

    You reuse stock outside washers, not a big deal.

    I'm really pleased with these and they've been on a few long road trips now. All around handling is better.

    My only issue was the original ball joints had surface rust on them within 6 months. This was an issue with the clear powder coating.

    JBA made good on this and sent me a set of the new Cerakote'd ball joints for free. They did that for anyone that wanted to swap them.

    All the new UCAs have the Cerakote'd ball joints. Everything else about the UCAs are perfect.

    This is one of the threads I researched when looking for UCAs. Just wanted to update and add to it. Got the JBAs on today. Very nice and customer service was spot on. Plus the red matches my red caliper cover from the XSP package.

    I have zone control arms and am switching to JBA. Think I can use the zone washers and be fine? Also, what did you have to move on the passenger side to get at the bolt in the engine bay? Thanks!!

    I'll have to look tomorrow but there are a couple harness clamps that need to be opened so that you can move the harness. If you start sliding the bolt out you will easily see what is in the way...it's not bad at all.
