    I use them on my uniballs mostly. Haven't touched a fox shock for a little while. I bent the tips inward to get a lot leverage and less likely to spring off.

    I used these, the harbor freight ones are shit and will break. But if there was a more rigid pair for a little more expensive I would go for it. I was in a bind and bought the channel lock ones from home depot.

    Pain in the ass is an understatement. There was a lot of cussing involved.
    They didn't sit right on the frame I had to weld in shims. And some of my welds look like dog shit. Good times!

    I've worked here for 13 years, worked in the offroad industry for 20+.

    On the Camburg totem pole I'm #3 with the two owners being tied for #1 & #2 lol

    For the record I have owned a Tacoma, I had a 2008 Prerunner I built up. I went to the darkside for a bit but I now have a Tunda lol

    Scott essentially runs Camburg, sales, logistics, racing, everything.

    He is literally the reason, Camburg has my business and will always be my first recommendation to friends and family.

    What was difficult, getting the torch in position for a good weld? Any hindsight advice?

    Angles weren't too too bad. I do wish I had a flexible tip. Biggest problem was making shims to fill some pretty big gaps. Second was getting driver side bolt in and out, mine was an asshole. In hindsight I should've made my tack welds easier to get back to, to grind off. I had to reposition mine. After you tack and pull the arm out, make sure you can get it back in before
    You weld fully.

    Good tips. Thanks. Not to the front end of the truck yet, but I'm about to weld in my DMZ hangers and frame plates in a few minutes...
