Sorry, can't pay $1100 for ball joints when I can go be them for under $300. Haven't worked in two months. I think if I raced my truck offroad I could justify it, but not for a DD.

I called them this morning, they are out of lowers and will not have them until the end of the month. Problem is my truck is sitting with the front end apart in the shop right now.

I did hear they didn't have any right now. Your in a situation for sure. I agree that 550.00 for a set of ball joints is steep. They are supposed to be great, but they aren't for me. I guess you can install the moogs and hope for the best. I just know there have been a ton of issues with them.

I am in need of ball joints myself, but it can wait a while so I will be checking stock on the XRF's in the near future.

good luck with it.

XRF gave me a list of parts stores that stocked the ball joints in my area. The first one I called had both uppers and lowers in stock.

Wouldn't pass this list on to me would you? I cannot find anybody that has or can get the lowers except the moogs and I really do not want them after reading all the bad reviews.
