My Lifted 4Runner now has poor handling, Why?

Dear Toyota 4Runner Off-Road Enthusiast,

I'd like you to close your eyes and picture your perfect day off-road. The thrill of the trail, the challenge of each turn, the power and control you feel as you tackle every new landscape in your trusted Toyota 4Runner... priceless.

Now, let's snap back to reality. If you've ever felt your 4Runner shuddering on the highway or noticed your steering wandering, you know firsthand how quickly the dream can turn into a frustrating situation. Why does this happen? The factory control arms weren't designed to accommodate the geometry changes resulting from the installation of your impressive lift kit.

But wait, it doesn't have to be this way.

  • We’ve put blood, sweat, tears, and pure American engineering into crafting what I firmly believe are the last control arms you’ll ever need.
  • With our JBA Ball Joints offering a staggering 90-degree range of motion - that's right, the widest on the market by far - you’ll feel like you've transformed your ride into an all-terrain champion.
  • And those pesky steering issues on your lifted 4Runner? Wave goodbye to them for good with JBA’s high caster arms specifically designed to keep you on the straight and narrow.

But here's the kicker - all this innovation, and we haven’t even touched on the maintenance yet.

Imagine a world where your bushings don't squeak - in fact, they self-lubricate. Thanks to our patented JBA EZ Lube Bushings with grease ports and pressure relief valves (US Patent No. 11,293,511), you’ll never be extruding bushings due to over-pressurization. Our maintenance is so simple: just 3-4 grease pumps away from perfection.

Picture this - cruising along, knowing full well that you have full control. This is beyond the peace of mind, this is confidence in your ride that allows you to enjoy every off-road adventure to its fullest.

I know you might be thinking, "Well, aren't Uni-balls the BEST?" Let me share a simple truth. Uni-Balls have their place [in a race car], but with only a 66-degree total range of motion and an open design that leaves them vulnerable to the elements, can they really stack up to the 100% sealed, 90-degree dominion that the JBA Ball Joint boasts?

For the daily driver turned weekend warrior, there’s simply no comparison. Durability, usability, and trust - that's the JBA promise.

Consider Mr. Michael R., who said it better than I could: "I've invested a lot of time and money into modifying my 4Runner for specific offroad demands... I'm confident that I bought a superior engineered product."

At JBA Offroad, we’re not just about making a sale but about finding partners on the trail. That’s why your journey to better vehicle handling begins with JBA’s Red Control Arms, endorsed and formatted with the strength to tackle the urban jungle and the great outdoors.

With every purchase, you join our family. A family that stands behind every control arm that rolls off our American-made assembly line. A family that takes pride in giving you the added down travel, the durability, the meticulous CNC machining, and the transparency of knowing we've got you covered for the long haul.

All this is within reach. Don't let compatibility woes concern you either; we've engineered these control arms to play nice with a cornucopia of lifts and leveling kits. Your 2003-Current Toyota 4Runner is but a few bolts away from joining the elite ranks of off-roaders who demand excellence with every turn of the wheel.

It's time to take control, to be the master of your off-road fate. Say goodbye to premature ball joint failure and so-long tire wear, and make those side-eye glances from friends who notice your vehicle's elegant red powder coat finish count.

Ready to invest in the best? To make an easy choice for a rocky path?

Reach us directly to iron out the details of your elevated off-road experience, and remember, every mile you conquer is a testament to American ingenuity, a mark of the true off-roading connoisseur.

Rise above the ordinary,
