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.
