Default UCA replacement

Been running the mevotec ctx uca fir a couple years and have discovered they are both shot. Was going to get the JBA ones but he only shows the lifted ones on website. I was of the understanding you only needed them if you had 3 inch or more lift. I'm only running 2 inch. My question is what's the recommended replacement. Looks like Murchison doesn't stock them anymore either.

I only bought mine from them last year, surely they still have them. They seem really good. Mine is on a 2.5 inch lift though.

JBAs will probably be ok. It is a pretty easy job, if you have small hands and a good selection of tools. The bolts that go through the bushings into the body pivots can be very hard to get to, especially on the passenger side (remove the battery, tray, etc). You can do the drivers side from underneath if you have small hands. It is very important that you torque those bolts correctly.

Thanks Glend done the job twice before wanted to go the JBA as I'm tried of changing out the whole arm instead if just the BJ. 3rd set in 5 years including those that were in it when I bought it.

To be honest I think the JBA balljoints on my 2010 WH GC not that good.When ever I grease them rusty water and old grease comes out .Do not think sealing boots do their job well.
