    I get it. I thought you just wanted to seal them off to keep shit out of there. Some people wouldn't think about it.

    Problem A:

    [​IMG]IMAG0251 by brettbjorgum, on Flickr

    Should have ordered shorter resi hoses so they fit against the frame plate. Oh well, I'll figure something out.

    Problem B:

    [​IMG]IMAG0252 by brettbjorgum, on Flickr

    Shock is now taking up space where the ebrake cable should be. Need to come up with a solution for that.

    Hoping this fits under the bed....

    I went through the e brake cable thing too. Leaned em back a bit I did.
    Your clearance should be fine. If not, take a hammer to the bed to massage it up a bit.

    edit, I also bent that little bracket up a bit (the one the e-brake cable passes thru). Your Bottom mounts are longer than mine... hard to tell but you may have enough room to just clear the cable if you push it up a bit .

    I know this isn't either of your options but there is a group buy going on with a pretty good deal on spc UCA's.

    I am leaning more towards the Icons because I spoke with there technical support and they informed me that they where coming out with a new "delta joint" that would be fully greaseable and allow the same amount of travel as the uni ball.

    The Delta Joint will be interesting for sure and a possible game changer. Just note they will offer it in multiple sizes that will fit any uniball application. So you do not have to buy ICON specific products to use them.

    hmmm thinking you'll be taking a hammer to the bed haha

    Just bend the ebrake cable guides and re adjust the E brake. Should be fine. I might look at cutting them off the axle and moving them to bend the wire around the shocks better.

    really you can't go wrong with either TC/Camburg/Icon. All great choices.
