Feedback on XRF ball joints

Has anyone run these XRF ball joints? I've found them on eBay and they are awful cheap. Just wanting some feedback before I buy anything

I've had them on for @ 70k with no issues. The right side is still so tight that I have to 'hang the tire' on that side inorder to grease top and bottom. Other than that all is well.

I've only put about 5k on mine since last October, and those, coupled with the '08 steering upgrade made a huge difference on my truck. The joints are still very tight. I'd buy them again if I had to.

Not sure about your price you found but most folks that use them here get them from TireClub.com and they're just a little over $200 for all 4.

I found them on eBay through tireclub for 235 with free shipping. They are actually about 10 higher if you go directly to their website

I guess everything is going up in price. From last October until now that's a $10 increase over what I gave for them. It may not seem like much to some, but I'm on a strict budget these days with $4/gal #2 and rising week to week.
