    I'd get some SPCs or the Rock Auto Mevotech clones. Timmy The Toolman has a tie rod replacement video on YouTube.

    Are camburgs worth the money? I can get some for $500 new. I know a guy that works there. I’ll check the Mevotech ones too.

    camburgs on my tundra. no complaints. i had total chaos arms on my taco for a long time.. no complaints.

    they are real overkill unless you offroad alot though and the uniball is way more exposed and thus prone to wear though

    good to know. I don’t off-road much in all honesty. But my uppers are on their way out so I’m thinking of just getting new arms instead of replacing the old ball joint.

    just get the SPC arms. sealed ball joint will likely serve you better.

    they'll give you more positive caster to account for the lift and larger tires. but they will not give you extra adjustment like the SPC arms. its a fixed amount of added caster vs the SPC adjustable caster

    (you can still dial it in with the lower cam bolts, but the SPC arms will give you even more adjustability.)

    that said i had no issues getting any of my trucks with uniball uppers aligned the way i like it (just under 3 degrees of caster, factory camber and toe)

    bored AF so installed Battlefield 4. Haven't played in 2 years, K/D hovering just under 1 and some ahole accuses me of hacking because he's apparently never seen a passive radar missile lock before. Kind of amusing watching this kid trying to convince people i'm hacking haha. I think I finished the round at like 13-29. Fun times.

    Local distillery produces hand sanitizer to meet need. I would like to get a bottle for my desk at work. That is for when I go back to the office.
