what are lca's and yes i do plan on buying the camburg uppers right away

 

u mean lower contral arms? they can stay stock, all the lift companies keep them stock, even in the camburg long travel kit

 

LCAs = Lower Control Arms.

I meant upgrading the Camburg UCAs soon as you get them. Since you're talking about using the spindle off of a 6" kit, I don't even think the Camburgs will have enough articulation to work, not to mention they wouldn't ever work properly through the suspension travel. I really don't know what to tell you. You said you had coilovers but do they have the top plate that you'll need to bolt them into the coilover bucket? Unless you want to spend the $3400 than you might as well buy the Kings or SAWs with a set of rear shocks. Deaver leaf springs and a pair of Camburg or Total Chaos UCAs. Than you'd have a pretty badass offroad truck.

 

i can fab the top plate to convert mine just like camburg does. but yah i plan on buy deavers long travel pack

 

So fab up a top plate, adjust them for 3.X" of lift. Tie rod mods if needed. UCAs. Rear shocks. Deaver leaf springs. Ditch the whole idea of a Spindle, its not going to do anything for you that you can't achieve with this set-up.

 

well i never thought about doin that until u just said so, i should be able to acheive at least 4 inches of hiehgt with my kings and just throw the camburg uca's on

 

I have been watching this thread for a while and thought I should give my opion now. First off, what are you planning on doing with this truck? Building it for looks or do you plan on actually taking it offroad?

Assuming you actually want to take it offroad I will start here:
You said you were worried about wearing out bushings and such but by cranking the preload on the coilovers to 4" over stock you will put the joints at a near bind while at ride height, not to mention have barely any down travel. The truck will droop out going over speed bumps and wouldn't handle at all offroad. Even with the camburg uppers I would be suprised if they didn't almost hit the coil since they would be almost completely drooped out. I also would be suprised if you could fit a 10" C/O up front taking into consideration the collapsed length (19.5") plus adding about an inch or so for making a mounting plate to even use a C/O. I would stick to an 8" if I were you because I can almost guarentee that is what camburg uses and the shock will not be limiting your travel but rather the rod ends and ball joints.

If you stuck to around 2-3" I bet the suspension would work much better since it would be less stiff and have a bit more down travel.

Now if you really wanted to give it some height for the "prerunner look" i would just go ahead and get the camburg kit. It comes with everything you need, pulls 12" of clean wheel travel and you dont have to worry about suspension geometry being off (althought it sounds like you already ditched the idea of using a lift spindle from another kit).

Im not trying to criticize but rather point you in the right direction so a nice new truck doesn't come out hacked together and you don't waste your time and money doing something that would not work well when it comes down to performance.

 

ty for the reply dave, all info is welcome
