“I like them. I would now have to purchase some new coil overs to experience the full range of flex and I been told. Stand by once I get those I’ll be able to provide an accurate assessment. Thank you for your JBA services”
“If you have the Bilstein 5100 shocks set to 2.8" of lift then these, in my humble opinion, are an absolute necessity. I've had the 5100's in my '11 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman for almost 3 years now. The first 2 years the shocks were set at 2.1" lift. Drove fine, no problems, but did not sit level. Still slightly raked to the front. After reading about all the problems people were having with their trucks after setting the shocks at 2.8", I figured I'd try a different route. Installed lowering springs in the rear with some shims and spacers. Even thought about cutting a coil out of the stock spring but I tow a lot and didn't want my capacity to diminish. About a year ago I ultimately bumped the shocks all the way up to 2.8", anticipating the truck to sit level. It did NOT! Still .5" lower in the front. So I threw in the towel and just drove it. Not long after, all the bad stuff you read about online started happening to my truck. Everything from strange random vibrations to terrible bump steer and then finally the death wobble while towing a trailer on the highway at 60 mph. It got so violent that it almost jack-knifed, and didn't stop until it got down to 15 mph. After checking my shorts, I tossed a tip to Gabriel for valeting my truck. And told him to thank God for me, seeing as had Gabriel not intervened, I'd be telling God in person. After that incident it was clear that my ball joints had failed. I had my eye on the JBA UCA's for about a year but couldn't justify the price tag in my mindset. Until that day that Gabriel had to save my a**. Immediately ordered a set. Arrived in less than a week. Slapped the JBA's and new tires on my truck. Got an alignment. Not only does it drive better than new now, the JBA's gave my truck the elusive extra .5" lift I was trying to achieve. Truck sits perfectly level now! Only complaint I have is the instructions contain conflicting information about what grease to use and torque specs. A quick email cleared that issue up and we were rolling in no time. Highly recommend. Mind blowin by how much angle these ball joints can travel! I swear they swing beyond the stated 90 degrees. Probably see these on "Ripley's Believe It or Not" one day. Thanks JBA! Keep up the good work.”
“Overall excellent performance,ease of installation and superior construction make these control arms a must have.also top rate customer service would recommend this company to everyone”
“These control arms are very good quality. Extremely stout compared to stock. The color stands out amazing, I like the bolt in style joint as well it will make for easy replacement in the future. Highly recommend over any other control arm.”
