Never removed a tie rod or ball joint before. Not sure I wouldn't tear something up trying to get them off. My front end is pretty solid right now, except for slightly weak struts. Not sure if I want to take the chance on messing something up...though I really do like the look of these trucks with the front leveling kit on....

I tried lol. I got one ball joint and tie-rod end popped out and the strut out and compressed. Couldn't get the hat off!!! I got frustrated and called DonkeyPunch (previous owner) he suggested I take it somewhere or get new struts. Ok, I vented. Sorry for the hijack lol
