Need new ball joints as well as other stuff. for ball joints should i go XRF or Spicer? Both are lifetime warranty, and bother i have heard good things. I drive ALOT off road, i drive gravel roads daily, im in 4wd daily, live in snow country(montana), my truck is over 6000lb, i tow, and i drive 20,000miles a year. So need good quality ball joints. Also need tie rod ends, track bar and new sway bar bushings in the end links and sway bar. Got new timkin wheel bearings and a rebuilt steering box. Oh ya truck is lifted 3in on 33-12.50-15s

Tie rod ends and sleeves- what brand? Moog? XRF? Other?

Track bar- XRF? Moog? Something else?

ball joints- XRF or Spicer? Other? Do i need the adjustable ones?

Any other thoughts for the front end?

 

You probably won't know if you need adjustable balljoints until after you replace them..... which is kinda a bummer......

XRF has good reviews. Don't know much about spicer.

Good time to do the 3rd gen track bar upgrade? (bushing on one end, hiem joint on the other.... MUCH superior to what ya got now) Adjustable wouldn't hurt. (especially since you have a lift.)

Don't know about tie rods ends and such. Didn't even know XRF made those..... but, if they are the same quality as the balljoints, probably can't really go wrong there.

 

Yea my luck i will put non adjustable joints in and find out i gotta toss those adjustable ones in lol. Might just put them in anyway... Will look at the 3rd gen track bar pricing. Truck will drive amazing after all this!!

 

I got the XRF ball joints. I did a lot of research on different brands and IMO XRF came out on top woth the design and reviews. I seen where Spicer didnt have the quality in their parts anymore. Same goes for Moog.

 

Now before i go order all XRF, should i buy the one ton stuff? Thinking of doing the 1ton upgrade... Any thoughts?

 

I think the 1 ton upgrade only pertains to steering. Tie rods and such being the axles are different.

 

I know thats what i meant.
