Thumbs up Super heavy duty Ball Joints

I stopped by the Carli shop today.They pulled out a mystery box and told me to open it up and check it out.A bit hesitant,since I have seen a few practical jokes in my day I cautiously opened the box...............There they were the new ball joints.................all surrounded in the cut out foam packaging,surrounded in class and complete with a tube of Redline synthetic grease.Nice job guys!They were working out the install instructions written in laymens terms.The miller tool part#s were included so the die guys can spec the correct tools to get er done.The grease ports and slots were impressive,the added o-ring will allow a water tight seal.The pin itself is removable for inspection.All the things that a $50k truck should have been built with.Awesome job.The end to upper ball joint issues!

good to know ! i wonder what the price will be? replace my whole entire front end last summer- including moog upper and lower ball joints. i have over 20,000 miles on the ball joints and they are as tight as the day i put them in.

Looks like the end to all ball joint issues!! Just a heads up...... you may want to sponsor DTR before placing info on your products in the forums. Don't get me wrong you guys manufacture excellent stuff. I'm thoroughly pleased with your suspension. The mods here are just pretty tough on advertising (for a dang good reason) and I hate to see people get banned. Especially someone that would be an excellent addition to the forums.
