I will be replacing my ball joints in my 87 shortly..so i was wondering what kind/brand do you guys prefer? Im running 33s so i would like something a little more beefy. Has anyone had any luck with the rebuildable ball joints?

Thanks a bunch!

i find moog stuff not much better than the cheap stuff, except for their lifetime warranty.

You can take some angle measurements of your "c's" and see if they're bent. That's what those are intended for. Take a look at you truck from the front and see if you can measure any camber. There should be none.
