    I had them powder coated a grey hammertone color and they have been super durable. No chipping, flaking or fading whatsoever. Only cost me about $90.

    Oh OK! Did you have to take them apart to get them sprayed? I'm assuming so. Also did you have to do it or the powder coater disassemble them?

    Pretty sure their website states they switched over to the newer ball joint at least a year or two ago. Cant imagine they even have any of the old ones left in stock..

    Yes, I took them apart. He probably would have done it for me but it’s super easy and I wanted to save money on labor.

    OK cool. I know the ball joint just unbolts but how do the bushings come out exactly?? Time to start looking for powder coaters lol.

    I believe I just tapped out the metal bushing/sleeve with a deep socket and a hammer. Then the rubber/elastomer bushings came out fairly easy.

    You can definitely tell they are more yellow now than when they were new.

    Oh wow I see. I kinda like em yellowish. Powder coater just sent me a pic lol. He said the powder coat job done by jba wasn't the greatest. He could see where some areas were hit a little more than others. Like where the bushings go in. He showed me before I left when he started sandblasting them that the tubes were not powder coated very well. I think I'm going to be pleased with them!

    @Navigator1 Took a couple pix tonight for ya :thumbsup:

    Upon further inspection, I would say it's a good inch and a quarter space. I can almost fit 2 fingers between the tire and the uca.

    That’s an answer, but not one I’m looking for. So... let me know what your investigation turns up. Thanks.
