King 2.5 Coilovers + Camburg Control Arms just installed. Review = LOVE IT!

[Bronco Buster Wayne]

New to the forum - first post.

I just installed set of King 2.5 coil overs - adjustable w/Camburg (tubular) Upper A arms front/lower trailing arms rear/adjustable trac bar (BFG mud 35s) on my 2021 Badlands NON SAS. Only had to wait a year on the King's but couldn't be happier with the set-up. I spun an extra 1" on the King's height = 6 turns from factory. Should settle about 1/2" and I will be very happy with the stance. Need to find some whoops to break in and adjust but for now I'm at 15 clicks = mid-way on the adjustment.

The ride is great so far. Still need to dial in after "exercising" them. But having the adjustable knobs is awesome. Thought about 37's but the additional stress on the drivetrain/tie rods just didn't make sense to me. And I personally prefer the clearance in the wells over the bigger tires.

*** I have the factory Bilstein's (3,000 miles) w/2" spacers = 1" higher stance than factory SAS if anyone is interested? $800 + shipping. Hit me up - [email protected] ***

What do you estimate the total lift now?

What was the total cost for the coilover set up? Was just a little confused about the $800 figure Thanks, looks awesome!!

Believe he is selling his take off shocks for $800;

Thanks Nick! I'm a little slow!

looking really good! I ordered my kings in custom color, and decided to stay on 35's as well. Are you on 18 inch wheels or 17's?

So I will sell the Bilstein's with spacers for $800 + shipping.

I'm on the 17" wheels because as a former Baja racer 80% of your ride is in the rubber. Never understood why folks put 22" rims on a lifted truck - concrete queens I guess???

 

[99cade99]

That is a great look. Have you buy chance looked at the CV angle at full droop? I have been debating the exact setup but was concerned about CV bind at full droop. Thanks for posting

Well thats's a good point. Haven't got full airborne yet and don't plan to do it often but will get back to you...

 

[99cade99]

Wow, that looks great with the 35’s! I usually see Kings and 37’s but prefer the wheel gap you have. How’s the ride on the street compare to the Bils?

Ride is great!

I completely agree! I do runs in baja often with my prerunner, and love it! That is part of the reason I stuck with 35's as well.. just changed out the brand of tires. I don't plan on rock crawling the bronco... more high speed runs in baja/desert etc. The weight and functionality of 35's should be more than capable.

BFG KMs Baybee!!!

I ran King/Camburg setup for a long time on my 2005 Tundra - loved the performance onroad and off. The rebuild every 1.5 years or so sucked though...ended up buying a second pair to rotate through when sending the first off for a rebuild in another city, as the metropolis of Austin has _no_ service centers.

How much were the Camburgs? - front upper and rear links? I was looking at ICONs, but also very pricey. I hear Camburg is just as good. Nice seeing the "hint" of shiny blue in the fenders....haha!!! Then you know it's KINGs!!!!! ALso, from only 1-inch "more" that's higher than I thought. But then again, the KING shock body is already "longer" than the SAS Bilsteins. So looks like you have a 2 inch lift TOTAL.

 

[BossMann]

I believe Camburg uppers are thicker than Icon. Tubing is higher OD.... I think.

Congrats! Waiting on a set of Foxes here. Just curious if you use any Tie rod braces? I have the Bronc Buster ones on mine, but I'm not sure if they (or any other ones on the market) will work with 2.5 aftermarket coilovers.

I believe the new Icon tie rods are clearanced for coilovers.

Would be curious to know what the articulation is with the Kings. I think the 35's look about right / not overstuffed.
