    285/75r16 BFG AT, OME lift with 882's, Dakars and OME extra leaf, Allpro UCAs, Rat 3 piece skids, Trail Gear low pro front bumper with light hoop add, Harbor Freight 9k lbs winch, No Sway Bar Junk, rear diff extension, extended rear brake line, Leer Camper Shell,Yakima Racks, Corner light relocation mod, Grey wire mod, an AFE Pro dry S filter,boot slid mod, grey wire mod, Diff Drop,Spidertrax 1.25" spacers.
    Ok my front end needs some help fast! just found a passenger inner CV boot is ripped so I guess after a OME lift and 150,000 miles I've got leaky LBJ's outer tie rods and I believe a loose driver inner tie rod(popping when turning wheel and holding the rack boot...long arms) Also got the vibs from 35-40 so quess i gotta do the needle barring also while I've got it all torn apart.
    So I need parts and found "Low Range Off road" has all the parts at a good price! so any one try their ball joints/tie rods compared to OEM??

    Need:
    Inner/outer tie rods
    LBJ's
    Rebuild CV's with new boots
    Driver side needle barring

    So thoughts on where to order parts, Low range, rockauto,camelback? sorry for beating the horse I'm sure I am.

    Thanks

    you can get the CV axles from http://www.cvjreman.com/
    get anything Ball joint related from camel back. I would get the tie rods from there as well but thats just me.

    Thought I read somewhere that there is a replacement bearing that is superior to the needle bearings. Tried to find writeup for you but failed. Hopefully someone else will chime on this.
