    8" suspension lift
    my ball joints keep wearing out! i know its my fault as i have stacked a 6Inch suspension ontop of a 3" spacer kit but dang these junk ball joints only last about 6 months because of the strain on them. any ideas of a good aftermarket ball joint brand or some way i can reduce the stress on my ball joints without lowering it any?

    thanks guys!

    Upper or lower and are they factory or aftermarket parts? If OEM, there are plenty of aftermarket control arms out there that might better suit your lift.
