JBA STD Toyota UCAs for the Tacoma, 4Runner & FJ Cruiser VS JBA HD Toyota UCAs for the Tacoma, 4Runner & FJ Cruiser First I will start with the STD (standard duty) a-arms, they were designed for the weekend warrior who worked hard all week and wants to play hard on the weekends with his Toyota.  The JBA UCAs will give you 1" extra down travel on the front suspension with more ball joint travel and strut spring clearance. JBA Tacom upper control arms JBA STD Toyota a-arm The JBA STD A-arm tubing is 5/32" wall and 1" dia. with a Moog style K6292 ball joint. On the JBA HD (heavy duty) A-arms are thicker tubing, with 3/16" wall and 1-5/16" dia with 11ga guests on the bushing bongs. The HD a-arms are for more extreme offroad abuse like offroad racing, rock crawling and dune jumping. JBA UCA with Fox Coilover JBA Upper Control Arms with Fox Coilover Both STD & HD will work with the Fox extended travel coilovers and the JBA Coilovers. If your steering knuckle is reinforced get the JBA HD a-arms. If you jump your Toyota you need the HD a-arms, If your steering knuckle is reinforced with a weld on gusset you need the HD a-arms. The Ball joint range of motion Up travel is 40 deg off of center line of the ball joint, down travel is 50 deg off of center line. Full range of motion is 90 deg. Note: you will not get that kind of extreme travel with a uni-ball joint
