    The only thing I've ever gone through is tires lol, and that was because of a bad alignment. When everything is set straight I have 0 problems...

    Bear frame and wheel. You don't drive ur truck onto a rack there. You drive it over the service area and they go under your truck. It also helps that most of the workers are young and all own lowered vehicles so they know what's up.

    Well my upper ball joints aren't stock, and the lowers are doing fine. I have aftermarket grease able lower ball joints and my tie rods are just old lol. But my qa1's show no signs of going out seems a bit soon for yours to be blown. Especially since I ride with mine at a much lower ride height, also on extremely bad roads. = /

    Hey Ryan Crown hose is about 5 minutes from my house they can make a full set for you if we take them off and bring them over there. Sometimes they will do it while we wait and then swap them out..or may take them a couple of hours.

    Hey mjb what are you doing to the truck now??
