My friend is the local service manager. I spoke to him about the modifications and he told me it definitely would not be covered under warranty. I am fine doing the repairs……this is the “fun” part of modifying our trucks.
Well, on a solid axle truck I’m not sure how he could prove that a new set of coil springs made the ball joint go bad. You’re even on factory offset wheels unless my eyes deceive me.
But, like i said, I support you upgrading. I’m sorry I don’t have any experience with those ball joints to help you
I like the idea of the rebuildable ball joints. I haven’t messed with them but I probably will In the future and here’s why.
I got a Jeep axle from a buddy that had chromoly ball joints in it. I was stripping the axle down to build it when the knuckle fell off with the lower ball joint. Yep the ball joint fell out of the C
I learned that the C of an axle can get stretched out and the ball joints don’t fit tight anymore. When that happens you get the knurled ball joints and they fit tightly in a wallowed out C. Well when the knurled ones don’t fit tightly anymore you need a new axle housing or to cut off the C and build a new housing.
So, the less pressing ball joints in and out the better. Especially if you need them often
