Nice progress so far!
Why did you go Camburg instead of Total Chaos or Light Racing?

Find a first gen V6 automatic 4x4. It should have 4.30 gears.
Recommended by a few friends mostly. They all had good things to say and no shortcomings of the product. After doing research camburg was the best option for me.
Copy that, I'll keep an eye out
Diff drop didn't seem to do much for me so I'd say either way doesn't matter. Extended brake lines are good. I used the tacoma steel braided lines from wheelers off road and they've been great. The reason for using tacoma lines is they use a banjo bolt at the caliper so you don't have that hard line sticking out which often times interferes with your coilovers, and it's a direct swap with no mods needed to make them work. With aftermarket coilovers the springs are seated much lower down which reduces clearance between the caliper and the coilovers.
Perfect, I knew I would be going that route. Saw the lines sticking out pretty far and saw the swap on another thread. Going to buy those suckers in a few days. Thanks for the heads up
Actually that's a good point. Let me elaborate, it probably depends on how much lift you're running. My truck is set at 1.75” I didn't have any issues with throwing grease or the ribs of the cv boots rubbing before or after the drop but the diff drop did make my diff interfere with my skid plate so I elected to remove mine. Been nearly 100k trouble free miles, and at least at my lift height it really didn't seem to change the cv angles much if at all.

Onegen - just an FYI with the Camburg's that I just found out on my own set....the uniballs appear to be some sort of plated metal, rather than stainless steel. I didn't realize that Total Chaos uses stainless, and Camburg apparently doesn't. It shouldn't be an issue for you seeing as you are in SoCal, but for me it's a problem. I'm in Eastern Washington where we get a good amount of snow and ice, and apparently they put some pretty corrosive stuff on the roads. Both of my uniballs have rust where the ball meets the adapter that goes through it. Worse on the passenger side. Camburg recommended that I clean well with WD-40 then lube with Dri-Flow. It helped, but I won't be able to get rid of the rust. And I can't clean the uniballs every time I drive the truck.
On the plus side there is absolutely no noise. I've never had any squeaking or anything like that...only smooth operation. Overall I'm really happy with the Camburg's, despite the uniball rust. When Icon releases their Delta Joints to fit the Camburg arm I'll be replacing the uniballs. I'll keep the uni's as clean as I can in the meantime.
