The Camburg trailing arms arrived today. They are a true work of art.

Can't wait to see it.... did you get the gold?

 

[S SUBERI]

When are you doing the install? It’s going to look pretty awesome.

Can't wait to see it.... did you get the gold?

I had to abort my quest for the gold. The price isn't too bad from King ($330 per pair for a total of $660) but the wait would be a good 3+ months...which I've found probably means more like 4 or 5 months. The wait from Camburg for their gold would be an estimated 2 months. Also, the front springs from King would still be blue. I could have have the front springs removed, stripped, and powder coated but now we're getting a bit ridiculous (as if $660 for custom anodizing isn't ridiculous enough). King also black cerakotes the shock bodies for an additional $170 each. I suppose I could have them dipped in 24k gold too. Actually 14-18k would probably be more appropriate for this application.

So I went with blue.....which is actually my favorite color.

I'll book the install at Westcott once I know the blue UCAs are on their way from Camburg.

Those Arms look amazing ... did they come assembled?

If you want billet arms and oem bushings look into superior engineering's arms for the 200 series. I guess they don't realize they fit the 250, 550, 300, 4runner and the Taco yet.

Before they started manufacturing those I made my own for my 200 series and found out they are the exact same size as the 250 series.

That’s straight out of the box. Hardware is in a separate box.

Those look amazing. I wish I had that kind of machinery to play with…

Just a heads up, when removing the OEM rear LCA bolts, loosen from the bolt side. The OEM nuts have teeth on them that dig into the frame.

does anyone have the torque specs for the most of the front and rear bolts. ie rear control arms and UCAs

 

[quacktoduck]

Got my Kings and Icon control arms(Front and Rear) installed this weekend torqued everything and drove it for 300 miles. (ive had my suspension for more than 6months in storage)

First impressions are they ride way better than my oem '25 OT shocks and springs.

Also first car to mod it before i hit 500 miles but well worth this mod.

 

[S SUBERI]

Nice!! I have the Kings and love the ride

 

[quacktoduck]

Btw if anyone is looking for the torque specs. This is for the LC250 but same same.

 

[quacktoduck]

Need to massage on 18x9 et0 but it rubs. Switching to a 18x8 et20 or 18x9 et15

 

[S SUBERI]

How much did you raise it?

 

[nori550]

I’m doing a full OME MT64 lift (front and rear) and new OME UCAs on October 13th. Will let you know how it looks/rides, etc. Middle spring rate since a have a heavy Alu-Cab 3R on top, a bunch of gear, and 2 large dogs.

How did it go?

 

[Bluegill]

The King front coilovers, rear shocks, and front sway bar links are on their way. I don't have the Camburg UCAs yet (still waiting on production) but Shock Surplus has a Black Friday sale going now and I saved a few hundred bucks.

Dealer for Camburg and King.
Would've beat their price for you!
