    Had a shop put my jba uppers on and they are sitting high. And alignment shop can't get my alignment any better than -1.24 on the JBA's.

    What the hell is that spacer/block thing connecting the spindle to the UCA?

    Not my pic, but your setup looks different from other peoples...

    Well I have a 4" pro comp lift I'm replacing. Can't find 4" lift spindles. So pro comp comes with those scary ass spacers.

    Well, the problem is obviously that you've installed some sketchy junk spacer kit.

    So yea no shit it's junk that's why it's being replaced. And why I'm asking what's wrong with the JBA install.

    I still can't believe they added spindle extensions for gen 1 DB lifts, that's horrendous. Sorry man

    I don't think those spindle spacers are actually adding lift, they're just movingly the UCA up and out of the way, presumably so it doesn't be hit the coil. In order for the spindle to add lift, you have to move the hub in relation to the Lca- that's how lift spindles work.

    I'm not either- I didn't even know such a thing existed. The trash can is where they need to go

    I don't think the UCAs are the problem. It looks to me like stacked lifts. Drop bracket and spacers on spacers. Once you get your suspension sorted out as a whole, then I'd start worrying about alignment numbers. Not bashing, just giving you some honest feedback.
    Good luck.

    I was told lift was 4" from original owner. This is my first so I'm learning. Also that coilovers crap is being replaced with kings.

    Yea I'm not sure bud. Original owner told me he had a stage one pro comp lift, and had a shop install it. I'm a noob to this bud. But I'm replacing it all. Everything is new there now except coilovers. Which my Kings will be here end of month. They are being custom built. Don't think anyone is bashing just giving me good feed back which I wanted. Thank you for your input also bud.

    That won't make my UCA's too low?
