What kind of help are you looking for? Trade it for a 2 or 2.5" kit. What is your truck: reg, supercab, screw? 2wd, 4wd?

to much stress on the ball joints and CV's.

Some people will chime in on how they run them with no issues. all i have to say is drvie it like that for 15K take it to a shop and have them check out your ball joints, 99% of the time they will be shot.

Thats pretty much why 3"s is bad. if you want a good explaination of the front suspension and how it works, search my posts, there were a couple threads where i went into pretty good detail. and some of the time i was argueing with people so dont take my sarcasm towards the reader haha.
