    Ok, so i've got a couple of questions that frankly I don't understand. Since they cover a few areas I figured it was better to post here vs. a bunch of questions in the respective forums.

    1. 33" tires vs. 35" tires. I understand that 35" is "better" my question though is how much better? It's only an extra inch of clearance so is there something i'm missing?

    2. Is it better to get a coilover with remove reservoir or a coilover with a secondary?

    3. Camburg UCA's I've read don't fix alignment issues where as TC UCA's do. I've read that you need to fix the alignment when you get lifts. So, if Camburg's UCA's don't fix the alignment issue whats the point of them? I've read some awesome things about them, so do they do something that the TC's do not?

    35s have a bigger footprint when aired down. All other factors being equal, that's much better traction. The effort to fit 35s might not be worth it for some people though.

    Remote reservoirs provide more oil for cooling = longer shock life.

    TC and Camburg UCAs will provide more down travel than stock. If lifting more than 2", you want to correct for alignment.

    Have no problems getting proper alignment with my camdurg UCA.

    I went to 35's after 33's just to have a bigger tire off-road. More traction while aired down, little more clearance.....and I mean, it's 35's.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    #1, not necessarily better. Depends what you want the tires to do for you.
    #2, As above: a remote reservoir shock gives you extra oil for longer/faster cycling. A secondary shock does much of the same but often has bypass valves in it as well which allow you to tune the compression and rebound of the shock.
    #3, Camburg upper arms are just as good as Total Chaos they both give you a uniball joint, but, Camburg uses 1.25" diameter uniballs and Total Chaos/Light Racing/Icon all use 1".
