new total chaos lower control arm

I meant an update on how the lowers are and camrburgs together

 

the coilovers are ok/valving never had a problem but i just wish i woulda went with Icon ext. travel with resis + they have better customer service and are more innovative

 

so what all had to change to work with the camburg spindles?

 

the LCA's!!!

 

I was at the total chaos shop and they had to measure/find hardware that was long enough to go through the spindle clevice and the uniball adapter but was still short enough to fit in the area needed here is pic

 

So did the lowers give you any extra travel?

 

x2

 

more than likely not.

in most cases, shock length and upper control arms limit travel. with my icons (extended travel), i can take out the bolt that holds the coilover to the LCA, and push the suspension down further. so if you have aftermarket upper arms, it's probably your shocks limiting travel, not the lower arms.

the uniball on the TC lowers probably allows for more travel if you had a longer stock, however, any further than what the icons (or any other extended coilover) will allow will start to bind your CVs.

 

^Good point. I did notice that when I installed my sway-a-way's that the LCA dropped further, not to mention the UCA would limit the travel along with the fact that it can only go so far until hitting the spindle as well (already noted a few posts back). Screw it, just go LT, or go even more expensive with extended travel C/O's and heimed uppers

It's a cyclical never ending cycle. Gotta love it.

 

I was a **** hair from getting the ap lt kit but changed my mind last minute because I wasnt sure about not having a sway bar. Spending that much and not knowing how it would handle on the street was too scary for me.

 

you'll never even know they sway bar is gone. the added track width of the LT kit is better than having the stock length arms, lift, and sway bar

 

well thats good to know after the fact lol. I'm sure what I got will be just fine anyway.

 

it'll outperform your rear, so the front LT would have just made it outperform even more.

 

so if i ordered these would they know what length to have on bolts since they found them for yours?

 

^I dig that light rack, Colin.

 

really? I ended up going with the standard leafs hoping that they would be smoother with my 2.5's.

 

Apreciate it! the one in my sig actually belongs to another member now. i built a new one. couple pictures in my build of that one.

the standards will indeed be a lot smoother, but the front will still perform better at speed. on that very first fast section in ocala, where my rear started bucking 2-3 feet up, my front was still nice and comfortable with no bottoming out. if the valving is any heavier with the 2.5s, you'll be better off, but the front will still do better. nice thing about the 2.5s is that you can revalve them if you feel the need

 

lets put it this way also i bottomed out my expo pack with nothing in the bed

 

bed cage time

 

nah i dont think i will go that serious i will get better shocks with time
