    Not a bad setup for someone looking to upgrade. Maybe work out a package deal.

    Great thread so far, in just 22 pages I've been refreshed on more concise info than I was able to gather in 300+ pages of other threads.

    Thanks. I meant more so as another bit of information to add to the first page. I went with LR UCAs, so I personally don't know the maintenance required for the uniballs. I went ahead and googled and found out for myself, but though others may have that same question. Since there is a lot of hands-on experience in here, I thought maybe it would be worth adding up front. But maybe not. Like I said earlier, I'm just here for more hang gliding lessons;)

    I'm going to try to spend some time on Sunday getting more links up if my lady is done with her homework and the laptop. I will need to get my frame plating project posted on my page also.
    The MT lift is based on the uniball uppers and the EXT Travel COs. The BJ ones don't add that extra inch o droop.

    I will have to add ball maintenance to this I guess but it seems to be a personal preference topic. Not all lube the UBs, they keep them dry. Out here in AZ, that shit won't fly. They scream after a few months with no lube.

    LR UCAs supposedly allow for extra droop and can be used with extended travel coilovers. Not sure how long they will last. @SMKYTXN had them with his kings and no issues.

    How did the LRs work with your ext travel Kings? I know you have Camburg now.

    i know since the BJ mounts below the arm it allows more "height" to be cranked out of it. I had to lower my coilovers when i swapped from LR to TC.

    LR UCAs work just fine with extended travel Icons. they actually have a good bit more travel than the shocks will allow. had them paired with icons for 6 years now. replaced the bushings and balljoints a few years ago when they redesigned both. other than that, I haven't had to worry about them.

    Did you have to run bumps or limit straps with that set up?

    not a single issue, and had my Kings cranked to at least 3" up front. Mine were the older style so when they came off, they were in need for bushing upgrade, but thats it. The BJ was still fine. As @LTDSC mentioned.. My UCA angle now with the Burg arms seems to be more extreme compared to the LR's angle. no issues still though.

    No, though neither are a bad idea. stock bump limits compression, and the shock limits extension.

    Thanks. I'm putting the exact same set up on my truck whenever the shocks finally get here. I planned on getting everything installed and then testing them to see if I'll really need them. Figured I'd ask too.
