Need some input for upcoming setup...

I have just a few questions out of some confusion in things i have read.

First off my ball joints are shot, and the truck has trouble holding an alignment. Is there any good replacements out there or would you just go direct from ford?

Next For the upper control arms. I wanted Total chao's arms until i read they limit travel and are not really all that great. I know that TC offers two kinds of UCA's one specific for kings and one for OEM. So now im looking into camburgs as the replacements. How good is camburg, will it work with my kings, and are they worth if for a truck that see's mostly pavement?

I did a search and got alot of conflicting info. Also anyone know the best place to get camburgs? i found one site at 550 (performance truck center) and most others at 599 or above.

Thanks Guys

From what I've read/heard Camburg is the better choice and it's what I'll be going with when I swap out my UCA but I'm not sure if they would fit with your kings or not, could always give them a call and ask

Im fairly new to the aftermarket UCA's. Why would they not work with aftermarket coilovers?

07FX4-- I was thinking id actually have to call, but i seem to think of questions on friday nights and then get impatient waiting on monday... I also was hoping maybe someone around here had them and never said anything but i dont think anyone does.

I second the choice for camburg. I've delt with them a couple of times, and their quality is top notch. I know HnM builds stuff for F-150's, and their quality is just as good IMO, they built my rear cage for my ranger. Their site does not list anything for 04+, but like camburg they can make you anything, and i would be willing to bet they either currently offer arms for the 04+ or are working on them. You've got to remember these guys are professional fabricators not web designers, so updating the site isnt really priority #1. In between running a high quality fab shot, racing, and building/designing parts these guys dont have much time to update their site.

so we all agree camburg is the best and that no one has them Ill give them a call tommorow and see what they say about kings and aftermarket coils in general.

there is no reason that any after market UCA wont work with the kings... where did you get the idea that they wouldn't work??? i would go with Camburg aswell.

According to TC they offer a uca specific for kings and one specific for oem, maybe i read them wrong. I just want to make sure there is absolutely no conflict with the camburgs before i drop the money on uca's.
