    Good point. If I'm investing $100K in a truck, it better not do either.

    reminds me when the hellcats came out. marked up 25k above price.. my father walked into the local dealer and wanted a scat pack and a hellcat at list and they said no and that was the end of it lol 2 weeks later went to barrett jackson in scottsdale and the dodge guys told us they make 15k already before markup on the car... dealers are way too greedy. 96k for a raptor?? why though lol

    As often as they need it.

    Sounds like a dumb answer, but it's the truth. How you use the truck, where you live, and how you care for the uniballs have a big influence on their life span.

    A street queen in socal that sees a dry teflon based lubricant will last 10x as long as a truck that gets wheeled hard in the midwest (salted roads / rust belt) and the uniballs are left to accumulate dirt/mud/road grit.

    How did you lift the bed? I imagine there has to be a way to rig a cherry picker but maybe just a few people would be better.

    Myself and my helper just picked it up and yanked It Off. Two people wasn't difficult. Usually by myself, I use a cherry picker to yank it off.
