    I have a 98 taco 3.4l with a 3" spacer/ block kit. Beefy custom front bumper , 32.5x 11.5 mud terrains. The front need some work . I am looking to replace everything with a Camburg uca kit with 0-3" adjustable coilovers(camburg)
    My main question is regarding the wear on the uniball in wet, muddy , sandy terrain. Im from van BC , so im not exactly running the dunes all the time. Anyone run into any issues?

    You are going to want to maintain those uniballs and keep stay on top of it.

    make sure you are cleaning them properly and are using the suggested products to clean them. this will ensure that your parts last longer and stay in working order.

    As far as the 3" spacer, i would not recommend you "stacking" kits, you should pull any other aftermarket suspension parts off and start fresh from stock before you install our arms and coilovers.

    if you have any other questions, shoot me a PM

    I had that kit in my truck for 18 months in similer conditions in Wa st. When I took it out for LT the uni ball had a little play in it but nothing I ever noticed driving. I really liked the kit but just wanted more.

    I would really look into icons uniball uppers because they have uniball covers to keep dirt out of them. Those would probably work better for your situation.

    So what was your ultimate determining factor in getting rid of the kit? did it stand up well to most terrain without jumping your rig? do you have any photos of the truck with that lift in it?

    I only got rid of the kit cuz I wanted long travel. It was good on the whoops and kicked ass on gravel roads. I did a few small jumps with it and it handled that well to. Its just like adding power to my diesel truck. The differance is good and noticable but I just knew I could get more so I had to do it.

    Here are some pics of the kit installed on my Tacoma
