    Quick question ...
    This guy is telling me that I should replace the two UCA because they r not designed to support the new angle created by the 2" leveling kit he claims that eventually r going to wear out ?
    Thoughs ?

    Technically you'll be fine... However the upper ball joints will now be a limiting factor in your suspension travel, thus causing premature wear. That said, you'll probably not see that til around 80k miles unless you're pushing the truck hard, in which case that day will come much sooner.

    I will only put about 4000 miles a year in this truck and no off roading so that's in 20 years or so haha .
    I have the money to replace them now that's not a problem but what do u think , is it worthy ? Not replacing them Can cause some serious issues ?

    Thanks for the input

    Nah, not going to cause any serious issues at all. You may feel that ball joint top out against its cup, limiting down travel but other than that, nothing significant especially with your limited driving.. If you can replace them, great, but do you "have" to? Negative.

    Sorry:

    A huge fan of the TRD PRO Heritage style grill. In fact I will be spending the $400.00 CAD to purchase one.

    Yes, I know the SR Grille is another favourite,

    Isn't it nice that we both live in counties where it is ok to have a different opinion.

    Hell Ya!

    Happy New Year.
