I've noticed from your past posts that you do blow out a lot of B.S.
See this thread:

Telling us that you've put on 70K+ without an issue is wrong! You've already been through one set of ball joints...
But then again... who knows what is real and what isn't...

Well suck me to sleep...I did change ball joints after going from the AS's to the 3/5 drop and back to the AS's. I can not say for sure what caused them to go, maybe the lowering, maybe the AS's, not sure. I had actually forgot that I changed the ball joints, so shame on me for that. But, needless to say I am convinced now that the AS's are not as harsh on these vehicles as some claim.
With that being said, tell me some more about the lot of B.S. you are claiming
I throw around. I take your comment as an attack on my character so lets hear it..

I was running 2.5AS for about 35,000 miles till I put my 6" lift on. Had lower ball joints replace At 82,000 miles. Put the 2.5AS back on. On top of my 6".Now replaced my uppers at 91,000 And removed 2.5AS. Took them off - ride was to harsh.(Will 2"ride smoother). My truck tows a travel trailer almost once a month and it`s my work truck.
I`ll say in my case it was normal wear and tear. ?
