I guess I'm the lucky one so far.....knock on wood. I have a little over 203,000 miles on my '06 and still have the factory ball joints and front hubs. Lookin' at the free spin kits though cause I know its coming eventually.

235,000 on originals but I have XRFs ordered. I checked and I have about .035" vertical play but that is virtually the same as when I checked it at 30,000 miles. I did the hubs at about 190.000 miles.

I am going to do the steering upgrade, rebush the trackbar, stabilizer, and ball joints when it gets a little warmer and I get really ambitious.

64K on the factory set-the replacement XRF ball joints make such an unbelievable difference in how the truck handles that I wish I had done them sooner.

70 on the first set 50 on the second both factory sets. Heard way to many stories about Moog so I bought the dynatrac prosteers, at least they are rebuildable on the truck IF they wear out.

So is XRF the favored brand now on Ball Joints?? Any complaints about them? Moog seems to be hit or miss........and im preparing now for front end work and have the stuff ready to go when it's time.
