    I don't think I'd want someone to make sliders who's never done it before to be the test guinea pig, but that's just me haha

    Looking at front suspensions (icon and king) ready to pull the trigger, credit card in hand, but just curious if the compression adjusters are really a big deal...

    Not for $300 extra. Others might say differently but I wouldn't buy them. I didn't get them on mine. Put that $300 towards better UCAs

    That's coin for extra bling. They're cool to have and there might be times you adjust them, but to yield a benefit you need to run a section, adjust and continue running the same section to tune it in. I have them, they're cool, but I have yet to actually change the settings.

    Ok, so yeah I could probably do without them haha so onto the UCA's. I know camburg's are good, but then came across the uniball and moog ball joints. Is there a big difference between the two?

    You can run it both, but me I run 140w rear. Y? Coz rear is being use most of the time, more sheering going on, now 140w stated that it prevents more Sheering coz its thicker consistency wise.

    What happen to the Baja suspension you bought off of Mike. Their not up to snuff?
    Also @madsand has the Icon with the adjusters. Maybe he can chime in .

    The uniball is a stronger joint and allows for more articulation. The ball joint type arent quite as strong, and I'm not 100% but I don't think they allow as much articulation as uniball. They are cheaper and quieter, although my uniball arms haven't squeaked but some people's do.
    My vote is for uniball.

    Yeah, I know what you mean lol.

    If I where you, I'd go with the uniball UCA. It's seem for the type of wheeling you do, it'll be a better fit. Buy once , cry once:thumbsup:

    Quickly blow out one more duratrac, get your free new one and sell your full set, that'll recoup ~40-50% of the cost for the new tires.
