    Hey Dude's, I just bought new camburg UCA's (Haven’t installed yet) but you know Christmas is ahead and I like to buy me a present, thinking on new shocks I currently have some 5100 bilstein shocks with the maximum height I think is 2.75" on my 2009 DC taco but deam they are stiff! Like the look hate the ride... so Camburg shocks are they good? what type of maintenance do I have to give them? If you compared to Fox or King are they good? I like to do some off-roading but also my taco is my main truck so please consider that ... thanks ahead on your answers

    Camburg shocks are made by Sway-A-Way. Good quality shocks, fully rebuildable and revalvable to your preference, and easy to work on with normal everyday tools.

    If I were you I would just get whatever is being sold on Craigslist, TW or Ebay by King, Fox, Sway-a-Way, Icon. It doesnt make a difference.

    colormatching your shocks and control arms will cost you a liver. Slap some camburg stickers om your billies and call it a day.

    Leveling kit, 20 in rims, flowmaster true duals, bullying watch dog,
    you could go with the fox 2.0 ifp coilovers which are a little cheaper and still able to be valved and rebuilt.

    This x1000. If you're asking the question on how to compare them to other brands, you won't notice nor need to know the differences between them.

    Any set of coilovers is going to benefit your ride application. Just find whatever is for sale used, send them out/DIY rebuild and call it good.
