Has anyone ever used this front end package from 1a auto? Couldn’t find any results in search. But the site has decent reviews.

I have a stock 98 XJ that I’ll be looking to upgrade all the front end, eventually.

Seems awful low price for all that stuff and the reviews didn't speak much to how it actually functions and holds up. Ball joints are a bit of a PITA to install so it's not a job you want to have to repeat 3-6 months down the road.

Personally I'd get the Moog parts from Amazon and pay a bit more but know that I'm getting a good quality product that I won't have to replace again. On my previous Jeep I put Duralast (Autozone) ball joints in and ended up having to replace them 2x over the course of 80k miles. More often than not, you do get what you pay for.

I wouldn't buy Moog their quality is not as good as it used to be and they are overpriced. That kit from 1A Auto has a lifetime warranty on everything so I say go for it. However if you want the best quality ball joints Spicer is the way to go.
