    Hi, gang!

    So, it’s been a long, but fun, process of deciding how I want to lift my truck and I want to thank everyone on this forum who have helped me along the way. I hope to, one day, pay it forward.

    I came close to ordering a Bilstein 5100 or NitroCharger with OME 888 coils setup, but numerous factors have changed my mind & I’ve decided to spend a bit more $ and go a different route.

    I’ve also decided to “bite the bullet” and grab a set of UCA’s when I do my 2.5” lift in the very near future & I’m leaning towards the Camburg with Moog ball joints UCA’s. I like the rugged simplicity of them and the fact that they are recommended for 2.5” lifts.

    I know many on here like the SPC/Light Racing ones, but I was hoping to get some input from any with experience riding on the Camburg setup. How are they holding up to the elements? How was your alignment with them? How are the handling characteristics of the truck after install? Etc.

    Also, I checked Camburg’s website. It states that their ball joint UCA will work with a 16” wheel that has a maximum of 4.75” backspace. My 16” Ray10s have a 4.0” backspace. So, if I’m thinking correctly, I should be good to go, correct?

    Thanks, everyone!

    Not trying to be a smartass, but what exactly is that video supposed to tell me? I hear some noises, but no other information is provided. Is that supposed to persuade me to avoid Camburg? :notsure:

    I've had my Camburg UCA with Moog ball joints installed for about a year. They have been great for me. Little maintenance and my truck aligned just fine. I drove about 2600 miles last week, all interstate, and the truck handled like a dream. I went with a 2"/1.5" lift along with the UCAs.

    I have camburg UCAs with my Icon Stage 1, everything is fine with them no squeaks and the truck alignments is all in the green. I am pretty happy with them.

    That's a UNIBALL so you can disregard that video.
