That turned out really nice! Do you think there is a difference between the way JBA mounts their ball joint and the way RRO mounts theirs in regards to them being rotated 180 degrees?

No I think it just depends on how the arms are designed. What's interesting is the JBA website shows the balljoints in the same orientation as the RRO arms..... what orientation are yours in??
Also notable is the control arm bushings are not the same as the OEM bushings. I'll have to check with RRO to see what pn they actually used.
Adam, found your pics. I bet he had to rotate them 180 degrees like that for the 4" lift where the control arms probably contact the coil, so he pushed the tube sections out further and had to rotate the balljoint to position the welds.
When you say this which set of UCA's were you referring to?Originally Posted by Matt

The JBA arms. Looked at the difference from the pictures on the JBA site and the ones from your build thread.
To keep the balljoint in the same position but move the arms out wider, it looks like he rotated the balljoint.
Been slowly accruing parts for my rebuild... My buddy and I are going to split a set of the JBA front discos.
They will look really good when you put em on....especially with the diff. guard
If you only had a set of RCV cv axles in that pile of parts!!

I wish i had a set of 7100's or MX-6R shocks in that pile of parts! lol I can hold off on the RCV axles; I'll put the superlift on before those
I dont like wheeling without front tow points and it looks like the steel bumper is put off until at least next summer... so I pulled a "corey" and spontaneously made a purchase without telling my wife (fiance in his case). Putting the SXC4x4 shackle mounts on.
