    My alignment is spot on. Handles well on and off road. Very stable at highway speeds.

    The ball joint is a standard Moog part and can be found almost anywhere. I am almost positive that JBA's joint is built in-house, but it can be replaced with another 6292 ball joint if you're in a pinch. JBA's ball joint is rebuildable and serviceable as well.

    I researched and weighed my options for 3 months before I chose the JBA's.

    Does anyone know (for fact) the actual degree range of motion on the new Icon Delta Joint or the Uniball UCA's for our trucks?

    It's great if your truck is Radiant Red.

    I kinda dig the red. It will pair nicely with my pro suspension.

    He will send them as raw steel upon request. Coat them any color you want with any coating you want.

    I'm debating buying a new UCA and was wondering about the amount of maintenance you did on your SPCs? Like you, I live in Pa.

    SPC UCAs are maintenance-free kit. I have not done anything to them. They got washed whenever I washed my truck.

    I’m looking at the JBAs as well. But I’m concerned about clearance for snow chains. What kind of distance did you get between tire side wall and UCA? What width tires are you running and did you use a wheel spacer?

    im running 295/70/18 nitto ridge grapplers. the inner sidewall is very close to the UCA, but doesnt touch. i had a set of spidertrax 1.25" spacers, but removed them because the tires would slightly rub the inner fender liner. if you use some wheel spacers, i think you would be fine with snow chains.

    I've got bilstein 5100's at top settings and JBA UCA's running 20's with +50 offset. Wanted to upgrade to a bigger tire but unsure of fitment. 20190721_101657.jpg 20190721_101617.jpg

    SPC UCA’s here. Grease every oil change, no issues so far and great alignment numbers.
