    Same. I dont hate it but its so bland. Looks to much like a ranger stock. Adding retrofits and satoshi grill makes a hell of a difference on em tho.

    Are you talking about spacers between the upper control arm and the coilovers?

    The upper ball joint binds first. Then the tie rod and cv.

    Ben is correct on the lifting just changes the ride height.

    Granted getting uniball UCAs and extended travel shocks will merit about 1" more travel down, but that's because your getting rid of the stock upper ball joint. Then you put stress on the tie rod and cv.

    I'm lifted about 2in in the front and 3 in the back. That doesn't have anything to do with it anyway. I jusst dont understand why these wore out so fast.

    Either way i have to change them. How difficult is it to change the inners?

    There are some videos online. It doesn't look hard. Mainly a pitman puller for the tie rod end and pray the seize nuts come free. Then an alignment unless noting the thread count on the tie rod ends works for you. I will be replacing the outers soon.

    That kind of happens when you drive around at 3 in the morning. That thump sound under your truck.

    It was much past 3, but all the same. Little guy hopped right on the edge of the road from some taller grass damn near the second I was passing him. RIP bunny friend.
