It probably has a lot to do with the 37's your running...Big tires like to eat that kind of thing up.

Carli's are a little Rediculious, I think when I checked, they only had uppers and they wanted $600 for the pair...

yeah, seems to be a pretty universal opinion that aftermarket parts should be sourced when the crap the factory threw at the newer trucks wears out.

I am unaware of any pricing on these parts, as I am not yet in the market for them.

If the ones I mentioned earlier are out of your price range, simply step down to the Moog joints.

Pretty simple.

ive heard alot of people talkin bout the new trucks,stock, eating the hell out of ball joints and u/v joints...mine has 53k on it and hasnt had any problems yet...knock on wood..if the problem does arise, and im sure it will, ill be investing in some aftermarket joints, that are GREASABLE
