Looks like Randy's acquired both ICON and Carli in '22. Perhaps not coincidentally the same year Randy's was sold by Tailwind Capital to Greenbriar.

Randy's is now just a part of another corporate conglomerate and I don't think they "make" Carli or ICON stuff.

I'm a formally trained Yukon master installer and I like Yukon stuff for the most part and Randy's/Yukon works hard to support their installers. All that to say I'm mostly a fan boi of Randy's but forever skeptical of boutique suspension and steering stuff.

 

As of now I’m considering Yukon or Apex if I have worn knuckle bores. Probably Dana or Carli if I don’t have excessive wear. I don’t know too much about the history of the truck prior to my ownership, so I just need to find time to pop everything out and make the determination on what to order.

 

I never considered it but this is a drawback of joints that press into the inner C's. The other way around you just replace the knuckle worst case.

 

I don't think I have ever encountered a balljoint job that I had to be concerned about them 'slipping out'..... Maybe once.... and I think we just used the electric welder to tack them in place..... which worked perfectly.

 

Can you link the angled cup adapters, please?

 

This kit has all the adapters. The press kind of sucks, but it'll hold up for a few ball joint jobs.

 

thank you so much!

 

Should be able to rent a ball joint press from your local big chain auto parts store.

 

Either that or find a decent used one on ebay. Had my eyes on a few Mac/Matco ones but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Why waste money on disposable tools?

 

I don't believe the OMT shown includes the Dodge/Jeep specific adapters.

Something like this, the two shortest pieces have a SLIGHT angle to compensate for the inner C not being at right angles. This keeps the ball joint press C-frame plumb when pressing


Note the angle on the adapters is subtle and easy to overlook in person. But once you see it, you know.

Ok that link doesn't want to work 'cause DF's software is super mega awesome. Just search ASIN B07DJ5JTW7 at Amazon
