Having just replaced my LBJ's, I noticed that the UBJ's weren't far behind on the road to failure, so I hopped onto ebay and happened upon a wrecking yard that listed them with a starting price of $199.99 and I was the only bidder. I'm the proud new owner of JBA UCA's for half price!

They're generation 4.5 a-arms and the only problem they noticed when they pulled them was that one ball joint lost the rubber boot.

I asked a few questions and it was clear that they didn't know much about them aside from what vehicle they're off of but they were willing to take photos from the angles I needed to ensure that they weren't the 'stock height' JBA UCA replacements. Once I got the photos I quickly asked if they had the struts and springs to go with them, but it sounds like they've already gone off to the crusher in the sky.

Also, quick Thank You to Marlin Gehman at JBA for helping me identify the differences between them!

Now, I just need to piece together struts, shocks, and springs, and I'll be living life on the high end!

Lol, thanks! I feel like I scored on this auction. One small step toward a more capable Jeep!
