UCA's or Coilovers?
So I was just curious, if someone wasn't going to replace both at the same time, which one would yield the best performance by itself?
Set-up: 6" 4x4 Screw on 35's, NBS, both Camburg suspension products
Also, has anyone found any better prices on these items than the $1050 for the coilovers, and the $599 for the UCA's? Thanks.

They both acheive different things....
The UCA's are a good bet if you have other than stock angles because they come with a Uniball joint that is virtually indistructable. You're OEM ball joints are weak and will wear out quick with bigger wheels if you have a spacer or something added to give you other than stock angle.
The coilovers will be a great addition anytime. You can leave them stock height and not crank them and they will feel a few leagues above the OEM struts from what I've heard. They will give you much better feel in your suspension. They can also be adjusted to give you a couple extra inches of height in the front and allow you to fit larger tires. That's the point where I would suggest adding the UCA's.
If you can't buy them both at the same time and you have stock angles, I'd say go with the coilovers first. Then later on when you get the money you can add the UCA's.

Next question, which I think I know the answer to, but do you think the coilovers and UCA's available for the 2008 F-150 would fit onto a 2009 F150, or would I need to wait for them to be redesigned?
And has anyone found better prices on them?
