I put together a parts list and this is what ive come up with

4 duralast ball joints (I know not the best but its what i can afford)

2 wheel bearings and hub assemblies (gonna have to go with cheap ebay ones since everyone else wants $340 a hub) http://www.ebay.com/itm/350568586708...84.m1423.l2649 anyone ever use these?

These Monroe shocks http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MON-58610ST/ (pretty friggin sweet if u ask me)

And these shocks and leveling kit for the front http://www.ebay.com/itm/260764258276...84.m1423.l2649

I am also going to install a tranny temp gauge. I will be ordering all of this next week!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions? I hate the idea of using the noname wheel bearings but if they have a name on them they cost a arm and a leg.

And all of this comes in at under $800

 

Check www.rockauto.com they have good prices on alot of parts.

Hubs for mine are $95 for Timken.

 

I have a 2500 and the hubs are alot more expensive. but ill check them out.

 

Check local auto parts stores for shocks. I bought the top Gabriel some time back with rebate that covered cost of 2 of them. These are items that seem to be on sale or rebate quite often.

 

Also, in this very section, there is a rock auto discount code thread.

 

No link??? WTF. Why should we have to search for it.

I vote to have it stickied so that it still gets looked over.

 

Don't feel bad about the DuraLast ball joint's, I have them on my truck they work fine..... Lifetime warranty too.

 

Has anyone used those coilover shock designed Monroes yet? Im trying to build this truck into a strong reliable tower.

 

Havent tried them but I had heard they tend to start squicking. How bad or for how long I dont know.

 

So check came in today! I will be buying all these parts plus some other things. I decided to Go with raybestos ball joints cause i can buy there service grade units fir $30 a peice. Theyre not exactly their high quality units but they have got to be better than all the cheapo no names.
