So my truck needs ball joints and while I'm there i'd like to lift the front of it. What is the best way to go about this? I'm on a $500 budget including ball joints. I figure ball joints are going to be like $250-$300 for the good MOOG ones. any input on those?

thanks

 

moogs are great and as far as the leveling kit a good steel set not the rubber ones is the way to go but are a bit more pricey

 

any links to a reputable place to buy?

 

your local napa auto parts for the joints as far as the leveling kit check the local tire shops see what they have to offer

 

yup my tire shop keeps them in stock, they stock adjustable ones, they kind of screw apart, they use them on box chevy's, crown vics, bubbles, etc to clear 24-26+ inch wheels.....

 

if you have a 4wheelpart wholesales near by they are a great resource.

 

check out Lift Kits, Leveling Kit, and Shock Absorbers - Suspension System Specialists! - Top Gun Customz for a nice metal leveling kit.
