    So I Have gone through 2 sets of ball joints within 8k miles. Something has to be up. Running Toytech Ultimate 3inch lift in front, 2 inch in rear, and LR UCAs in the front. What could be causing this? Which the amount of highway driving I do the truck rarely see's off-road anymore. Hoping someone can shed some light?

    Lol, its all good. Friday night, we can blame that. According to the tech, the ball joints can move up in down almost freely.

    Search LR UCA ball joints and you'll find that they shipped defective ball joints on a lot of their UCA'S

    Ah, wonderful. Well I have a call into their corporate office to look into this with them, hoping to get somewhere. If these things keep failing around 8k miles I'm going uni-ball quick.
