Where are you buying ball joints from?

It's time to replace mine and I'm trying to figure out where folks are buying theirs from. I'm still torn between the Dynatracs and Carli. I don't really want to turn this into a big debate about which is best as I've read many threads on here about them and all over the internet. But being in AK there isn't anybody to buy this stuff from. I've searched online and keep finding companies I've never heard of that sell them. So I'm reaching out to see who is worth doing business with.

Shipping is a big deal as shipping to AK gets outrageous. So if you know a company that will also work with shipping that would be cool. Some I've talked to say only UPS or FEDEX and both of those only provide 2nd day air which in reality is about 1 week air but the same high price. If I can find someone that will ship USPS they can be flat rated to me.

Thanks
Mel

Yeah we get robbed on a regular basis here in AK. I can't even get DTR to return my calls and or give me a quote for an exhaust.. The one place that has exhaust up here is WAY over priced... $650 for a $300 exhaust system... Believe it or not. I order a lot of part through Amazon.com.

I'll be buying dynatrac. I'll check out a few places. If nothing else I'll have them shipped to my dad and have him flat rate them to me.

Darkpaladin where are you at? I'm in North Pole. The diesel doctor does great custom exhaust. Not badly priced. About the same as any aftermarket kit.

I'm in FBX, I have a friend that works at the DD. Not sure on pricing, I'll have to ask. I wanted a turbo back 4". I wanted a Donaldson muffler as well. But no one up here has them. At least that I have found.

Yeah aftermarket parts are hard to come by up here.

I got my ball joints from KLM. They cut me one heck of a deal on shipping. I even got a buddy's order combined with mine for some super savings.
