What UCA's to go with??

Hey guys,

One of the members here is selling some Camburg 1.5" uniball UCA's, but they list 1-3" of lift, and I'd like to do about 3.5". Is that a major issue? I'm sure somebody here has some experience with it.

Also, note that I live in NE Washington, where we get snow and deicer, so I'm not sure if an open uni-ball is my best choice for longevity/easy of maintenance.

Any feedback is appreciated!

 

3.5 is going to be hell on your cv’s and ride quality regardless of uca brand

 

What's the difference between 2.5" with no diff drop, and 3.5" with 1" diff drop?

In terms of ride quality, why would 3.5" be a poor ride quality on a high-end shock? I've talked to a couple people with ADS coilovers who could have easily gotten 4"+ of lift, with 3.5" being hardly any preload, so I don't know why the ride quality would suffer unless adding a ton of preload to get to the 3.5"

 

I’m looking into the delta joints instead of the ball joints,
The uniballs don’t seem to do well in the salt and snow climates.
Just waiting on some additional information before I pull the trigger.

I’m looking at a 2.75 to 3” lift in the front.
Not sure what the angle would be on any higher lift.

 

Icon makes the delta joints, yeah?
I've always heard that the uniballs aren't great in salt and snow climates, but can it be prevented by getting a good coat of grease on the ball and moving parts, or is that a no-no?

 

I’m only going off what I read on the uniballs in crappy weather areas.

Icons YouTube video on the delta joint says they should preform well in shitty environments.

Someone else will probably chime in with personal experience on uniballs in snowy salty environments.
