    Hi Tacomaworld,

    So about 5 months ago I installed the 3.5" lift kit from Rough Country and already the upper ball joints are beginning to crack and dry rot. RC says that you MUST get a replacement from them but could I replace them with MOOG ball joints instead? I figure MOOG has much better quality rubber than what junk country uses. Which MOOG upper ball joint would work with the RC upper control arm? Thanks!!!
