    If you don't do a whole lot of wheeling then why not use Light Racing UCA's. Not Uniball but OE style ball joint. $375 is not a bad price.

    Well I need uniball to install my spindles. I've tried selling them and don't want to part with them and I don't want them sitting in my garage either. But all comes in due time

    you are correct, they just happened to be handy and have the same bolt size. the AP ones are the same size.

    I see well I ordered all pro UCAs so ill definitely let y'all know how they perform
    Also adding another AAL so I should have at least 4 inches of lift in the rear again

    I've had the all pros on for about two weeks and a big difference alot smoother on bumps and actually the truck sits an extra half inch higher up front..still really stiff since I have eibachs and 5100s...and I have a 4cyl so not to much weight up front to make it a smoother ride but I'm thinking about getting ome coils that will give me only 2 inches of lift

    Very noticeable difference I paid full price and I have a little more travel with them.
    Definitely a smoother ride, to me a little more response from the steering
