Only had them on for a day but I took them down some dirt trails and they definitely made a difference. My stock arms would hit the coil bucket on bigger drops/holes in the trail but now with these they don't contact the coil buckets. Much better, not so much banging and clunking. Hit a pretty big pothole and did have the UCA contact the spring tho. First time I've had that happen. Maybe I need to take some preload out of my coilovers so that doesn't happen.
That's a good deal, lowest I've seen was $630 new from a retailer on here.

So I'm out and about on trails right now and have tweaked my coilovers so the arm no longer hits them when at full droop. The limiting factor now is the uniball joint and I can hear when it limits out. So to those of you guys that are well informed, is it better to have the uniball bind and have that as the limiting factor or is it better to have them hitting the coils as the limiter? It's only happening pushing it over deep holes in the trail or fast sudden rolling drop offs. Really it still nicks the coils just barley but mostly the ball is binding. There's a crap load of more travel going on over stock arms tho. Loving these upper arms.

Pretty high right around 3 inches of lift but my measurements are different because I'm a 2wd as far as measuring the threads to collar. I dropped my height down a half an inch and it helped a lot but the arm still hits the coil on bigger holes when going a little faster. I'm talking probly a 6-10" deep hole/rut going about 20-30 mph. Its because the stock arm used to hit the actual coil bucket(not the spring) and that's where the travel maxed out. Now with the extra clearence the camburg arms provide they are traveling farther down all the way until they hit the actual coil since nothing else is really there to stop em besides the uniball. It's great and really has helped the off road aspect of the ride but it does suck having the arm hit my nice powder coated coils and take the paint off. Not really sure how to completely fix it besides dropping the ride height even lower which is not something I want to do. I don't do much serious off-roading anyways.

Maybe not hit deep ruts at 20-30mph lol
