Well I am finally getting around to getting my ball joints fixed. I found a guy back home who said he can replace all 4 joints and my shocks for $150. I think that is a pretty good deal, right? Well now I have to find the parts that I want/need. I wanted to put Bilsteins in the front, I think they are 5100's is that right? So can anyone point me in a direction for good prices? I only want the front Bilsteins. I also need the lower ball joints and upper control arms...

 

Order the Bilstein 5100s from E-Shocks.

 

Is that the cheapest place for the Bilsteins? If I get the front and rear set will I have any problems with the additional heighth? i.e. drive shafts, brake lines, cv angles? Also is there anything else I should look at/possibly replace while I have it apart? Where is a cheap place to buy the ball joints?

edit: right now i have a skyjacker aal, factory block plus procomp block from the kit. will i be okay with the bilsteins for an extra 2"?

 

No the rears would not work, they're only for stock trucks.

 

do you think my cv angles would be bad with the extra 2"?

 

Nope but I've got a set that I'll be getting rid of soon. I've got someone else that wants them but if that falls through, I'll send you a PM, sound good?

 

Yeah that does sound good thanks. I'm shooting to order them within the next week since they will be getting installed the first weekend in November? You getting Kings?

 

I'm pretty sure, I'm having a hard time parting with my money. I'd like to dump some cash into my SeaDoo but I've wanted these for too long. I'll probably order them later today or tomorrow.

 

Haha! Yeah I definitely know what you mean. For what your paying you could do quite a few other things. Same reason I am going oem uca's. I just don't drive my truck hard enough to justify the tc. Either way, good luck and let me know if I can take them off your hands. I'll check back with you before I order them.

Cheap oem parts? Anyone?
