    Some people have grenaded more than one of their diffs. Blakes had a bad seal and a few others have had issues that would come from carelessness on ECGS end.
    All in all they still offer a great service that I would still utilize.

    Huh, interesting. I ordered mine so long ago I haven't looked them up in awhile. They did however forget to install the actuator sleeve in my front so I installed it without it, not knowingly, then had to take it all apart again and put it back in lol. That sucked.
    Hell yeah man. It is nice to know you have that behind you.

    How much is a reasonable labor cost to swap out ball joints if I buy the parts?

    I generally do not turn down any free steel of any shape/size/thickness because it all comes in handy at some point as long as I can burn a wire on it.
