Improve Your Ford F150's Suspension with JBA Upper Control Arms

Enhance your Ford F150's performance by upgrading its suspension system. Discover how JBA Upper Control Arms can provide superior handling and increased stability on and off the road.

Every off-road enthusiast out there knows that one of the necessary upgrades to improve their truck's performance is a suspension upgrade. Lifting a vehicle and putting on oversized tires are common in the off-road world, but not many people know that proper alignment and suspension upgrades are essential to keep the vehicle running smoothly. This is where JBA Offroad comes in with their JBA Upper Control Arms (UCAs) for 2004 - 2020 Ford F150 trucks with a lift range of 1 to 4 inches. In this blog post, we will discuss the JBA UCAs' features, manufacturing process, and why they are the best option for your Ford F150.

The JBA EZ Lube Bushings are one of the most noticeable and important features of the JBA UCAs. Unlike standard bushings, JBA's EZ Lube Bushings come with grease ports and pressure relief valves that keep the outer face of the bushings lubricated. This ensures that the bushings will not get extruded from the housing due to being over-pressurized with too much grease. Grease maintenance is easy and requires pumping grease in them until you see grease come out between the washers and the bushing. The U.S. Patent No. 11,293,511 backs up this innovative design.

The synthetic elastomer bushings, used in all of JBA's UCAs are another notable feature. Synthetic elastomer is a type of polymer that uses urethane as its main constituent, resulting in a soft yet strong compound ideal for on and off-road applications. JBA uses this bushing to tune suspension geometry and eliminate squeaky polyurethane bushings, leading to increased performance and a quieter ride.

JBA Offroad's Pennsylvania-based manufacturing facility produces every part of the UCAs in-house, except for ball joint boots, laser cutting, and powder coating. JBA aims to manufacture everything in-house, ensuring that the parts they produce undergo strict quality control. They machine all the ball joint parts and bushing bongs, cut and bend all the tubing, and weld all the control arms. By maintaining quality control and producing parts in-house, JBA ensures their components will last.

The JBA UCAs come with a lifetime warranty on the structural integrity of the control arms and a one-year warranty on ball joints, bushings, and powder coating. The powder coating, Tiger Drylac Bengal red, protects against rust and salt spray. JBA offers their UCAs in JBA Red, but customers can choose to paint them in any color they want.

Finally, JBA's Max 90 ball joints offer 90 degrees of range of motion, and the UCAs are compatible with a lift range of 1 to 4 inches for the IFS vehicles. The UCAs are necessary when lifting a vehicle and putting oversized tires on it.

In conclusion, JBA Offroad's Upper Control Arms are the perfect upgrade for any off-road enthusiast looking to improve their Ford F150's performance and comfort. The EZ Lube Bushings ensure easy maintenance, while the synthetic elastomer bushings provide long-lasting performance and eliminate squeaking. The in-house manufacturing process and lifetime warranty show that JBA Offroad cares about the quality of its parts and stands behind its products. So, if you're looking for increased suspension performance and a smoother ride, look no further than JBA Offroad's UCAs.
