impressed W/ King 2.5" & Camburg UCA's (ball joint) very happy

Finally broke bread on some better suspension.
I drive 1/2dirt & 1/2highway.
Went with King 2.5" OEM's 600# spring & the new camburg ball joint style UCA's
Fit & finish is awesome, install how they should for what they cost! $$$
I immediately noticed the difference coming from billy 5100's.
Firm but not rough, feels tight & responsive.
Corners much better, doesn't dive & push like it used to. (motocross lingo)
Washboard, bumps,off road in general, the faster you go, the smoother it is!
Doesn't feel like a wet sponge & bottom so easy.
It feels like a truck that can handle punishment now.
Overall much more fun to drive!
Btw DSM hooked me up with a killer deal & lightning fast delivery.
Thanks!

Looks so good mounted up!

 

Awesome setup! I'm looking to get some king shocks for my truck also. Do you know how the Camburg UCA's compare to some of the others like Total Chaos?

 

Not really sure.
I wanted the ball joint type, saw that Camburg just released these so I went with em. Nice quality for sure!

 

How much did that whole setup run you?

 

Nice brah!

 

Did you opt for extended travel? I'm currently researching suspension stuff and plan to do a setup like yours. I've heard "extended travel" coilovers can net you another inch or so of travel, but I think you need uni balls to take advantage of it.

 

Looks really awesome btw!

 

Now that I don't Moto, I started to missed having something with good suspension haha

 

I didn't go that route, I kinda wanted to keep it a simple bolt on kit. The kings are set to level out the truck from stock.... I just wanted something that handled better on the road & could handle a pounding on washboard & dirt roads in general. My truck lives in the dirt 1/2 the time. It's much more stable now. I caught myself today drifting a left hand turn in 2nd on the street lol... Reminded me of my teenage years and the 5.0 mustangs my friends and I all drove

 

Looks good

 

What've you got on the rear for suspension?

 

extended travel is simply allowing for more droop... if you have an aftermarket UCA there is no reason not to get extended travel coil overs.


OP what is your lift amount and what kind of alignment numbers did you get?

 

Definitely worth the money. I have the Total Chaos UCAs and everything rides like a perfect on and off road. Alignments much better getting aftermarket UCAs.

 

I love my Kings... Looks killer bud
