    TW,

    I am about to pull the trigger on some 2.5 Kings front and rear. My big concern is that I live in New Jersey and with the salt, brine, and other chemicals they throw on the roads, I am worried about the suspension looking like a rusted mess.

    So, heres my question-

    What type of corrosion preventive maintenance would be best for the CO bodies, springs, fittings, and UCAs? I am thinking about fluid film as I am undercoating the underside of the truck.

    Thanks!

    DIY with cans, or budget 'rubberized' undercoating, even done by a 'professional'?

    Don't do that. It makes things worse

    Do that.

    Yeah, dont do any rubberized undercoatings. Fluid Film or similar works well.
