    That's what I've been thinking too. Hopefully it won't be too ass-high when I don't have anything in the bed. Picking up new tires eventually as well, but sticking with 265/75/16 to keep some power for towing. Hopefully it won't look that weird in the rear.

    Tell me about it. My driver front end has developed a clunk going over potholes and uneven areas in the road way and on trails. (not affected by turning).

    I cant detect any movement in the LBJ with the tire on or off by wiggling it at 6 and 12 o'clock. But at orginal LowerBJs at 189,000 miles...pretty sure they are on their way out.


    I have some moogs sitting on the bench ready to roll, along with my All Pro UCA's. Both will be going in this week.

    Just hoping my LCA bushings are ok...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I was supposed to drive on the highway the day mine failed, but the place I was going to was closed. So instead I just went driving around backroads. Could have been a lot worse had been driving 55 instead of 25...

    LBJ on 2001-2004 models only? I have a 2000, should I be concerned?

    There was a TSB for the bad ball joints, and the new design is much stronger. They still wear out or break over time. If you're still rolling on non-TSB ball joints, it's your own fault because toyota would've replaced them.

    The "TSB" only covered certain 01-04 trucks. Mainly the 02 model year.

    And not a spot of rust on the UCA bolt. Came out with my fingers. I love you Florida :)
