Depends. How much do you want to spend? The xrf or carli ($800) might be the best. IMO ones from napa are pretty dang good and greasablle. For half the price

Bloody cheap too. Rock auto has the uppers for like 23 and lowers for 30.

How the hell do you beat that?

A buddy of mine has em in his truck and beats the hell out of them! They're still tighter than a nuns cu*t.

done the cheap ones in the pass on my 97 and had Napa's brand too they did good but still had to replace them. Just want to do this one time and never again. 800 is not bad, when in the pass I had to replace them almost every year for almost 10 years when I had my 97. I think I am going to go with carli. Still want some more info. Thanks everyone for the info so far .

I have heard a lot of bad things about the MOOG and I have heard go things too. I use my truck off road all the time that's what killed them in my old truck. the only way that I could make them last was to keep them greased all the time and they still would not hold up. Which I keep my truck greased up all the time.

XRF are a newer company (still chin made i think) but high quality, all 4 can be had for 250

dynatrac's are on par with carli's and a good choice for 650

cali's are the top of the line with a lifetime warranty for 800

dyna's and calis are also rebuild able on the truck
