    So I ordered the Fox performance elite 2.5 dsc reservoir shocks with 3" lift for my 2020 tundra. My plan is to run the Fox shocks front and rear with an ICON expansion pack in the rear. I have SCS ray 10 wheels in 18x9 with +25 offset and Falken Wild peak at3w 295/70r18, I have narrowed my search down to either the Camburg x joint uca's or the ICON delta joint UCA's, reached out to Camburg and they said their uca's would work perfectly for my setup and on ICON's website they recommend 18x9 wheels with a +25 offset. Any reason to choose one over the other? Any recommendations for something else, Im also trying not to do too much trimming or a bmc. Thanks for any tips and knowledge!

    The Icon delta joints are great. The Icon billet UCAs are great. Just don’t get the icon tubular UCAs. You’ll likely have alignment issues.

    I'm personally not a huge fan of the Icon tubular UCAs in this application as they require cutting of the tie rod end on Tundra applications. If you want to go Icon I strongly recommend stepping up to the Billet arms for maximum adjustability. That's personally what I am running right now. If you want a tubular UCA, our current darling over here is Dirt King. I used to love Camburg products, and we ran their arms on our previous Ranger build. However, we had to drop them as a brand last year due to recurring poor communication and customer service - your mileage may vary. We can get pretty much any UCA for you over here at Hotshot Offroad, and have most in stock. Happy to help answer any other questions you may have.

    Thanks for the information, Im definitely not brand specific or opposed to going billet, the icons and camburgs were just the two that I found would work with my wheels. Sounds like going billet right out of the gate may prevent some headaches in the process. Would the Dirt King tubular UCA's work with my wheel setup? If im measuring correctly I believe im right at 6" of backspacing... Again thanks, for the info guys!

    I run Fabtech tubular uppers and have had zero issues with alignments and I've run 6" and now up to an 8" lift on my Tundra.

    I know it's a unique brand when it comes to the Tundra world but in a sea of Icon, Fox, and Kings, it's a solid alternative

    Dirt King tubulars should be just fine if you're at 18x9 and +25.

    Yessir!
    Opine, solid word! The Bilsteins are great if you want your design language married up with other Bilstein parts, but if you don't care as @Sierradevil said they're the same product (tubular to tubular). The price differential isn't all that much given that DK charges a pretty penny to ship most things, but either way you can generally get into a set of DK tubulars + caps for about the same price as a set of Bilsteins without.

    Good luck getting Bilstein to send you stickers... :bananadead: Of course you can find knockoffs all over.

    You might not like the red bushings either :notsure:
