    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Maybe it's time I mounted some of these to the frame. [​IMG]

    Glad you came out of it unscathed. Rolling the truck would have been no fun.

    Ive seen a lot of posts lately about ball joints. It's got me a little worried. I've looked at mine and I haven't seen any grease comin out of them. Is there another way to tell if they are bad or goin bad?

    That's not a spacer. It's toy tech coil overs

    To tell you the truth, I had just a spacer on it before. I then wanted to go with toytec so i got rid of the spacer and went with the toytec and i have had nothing but trouble. just like 04trd said weird design...
    i started taking it apart today and so far i am going to need upper and lower ball joints cv axle,,, hope thats it!!:confused:
    as far as checking them, they looked fine but then im no mechanic! lol
    all i know is i am hard on that poor ifs....
