Yeah. That's the sheet I reviewed with each tech. I'm on A, both sides. Even highlighted the bold above the diagram that you can move the LCA forward then set it with the UCA. I had a lot of confidence in the last tech. Didn't get to talk to him afterwards but I'm begin g to think something about my lift being closer to 4" than 3" (......) has something to do with it. May also be causing the premature BJ wear.

 

You're almost at 4"? How are your CV's?

 

I think "fair" would be the best description. Haven't been in there to inspect but they are not noisy or sloppy, boots are not wearing too bad. I do have the 1" diff drop installed and some people run 3" lift without the drop with no issues.
New DeMello bumper and winch should put me back on 3". ....just as I planned all along lol

 

Gotcha. That would make sense then.

 

I'm right closer to 4 as well

 

But you dont have CV's

 

I think I'm somewhere between 2.5" and 3"

 

Zach, please read all of this info below again and tell me what you think you should get, LR or Camburg ......

I'll give you a hint ....... It starts with a Cam and ends with a burg.

 

Oh I know I read all of it

 

This

 

Built right has a great reputation. I haven't looked but do you know what uniball they use? Chromoly or stainless? You WANT FK stainless steel uniballs. The chromoly ones are a coated alloy. This coating wears away and causes pitting and rust which wears out the Teflon seal faster. The fk balls are solid stainless which will not pit or rust meaning longer life. I'm not sure if there's a price difference in them but some companys they come standard with SS uniballs. I believe the cromoly ones are usually Aurora (I think that's how it's spelled). To be clear, there is nothing wrong with them and they are a fine product but they will wear out faster, especially in our part of the world where it's humid a lot and we constantly see mud and dirt that traps moisture and in general wears down parts faster

 

I'm not sure which they use but could you run the Chromoly ones until they wear out and then replace with stainless?

 

They use stainless 1" balls

 

Yes of coarse you could. The reason I point it out is that if you know you "want" ss balls then why not buy them in the first place? The chromo ones will wear out faster which costs you money in the long run when instead you just start with the ss that will last much longer.

 

Good thing they are stainless then.

 

so i didnt read much of this thoroughly, but I never saw TC UCA's mentioined, any reason on not wanting those?

 

The person/people talking about ucas weren't talking about TC. That's the reason they weren't mentioned

 

well duh, thats y im askin

 

Jake brought up built right because they're cheap, Daniel brought up LR because he is selling his, and I brought up camburg because I'm buying Levi's old ones here whenever I decide to make a trip to KY.

 

I've never heard anything bad about tc and a few peeps in AK ran them, they were all still pretty new when I left though. This debate was specifically started about LR
