    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?
