So i installed the AS 2.5" lift spacer about 10,Miles/13 months ago. When i was recently rotating my BFG A/T 305/75/18s i noticed that the boots on my upper ball joints (both side) are torn. I also noticed a mark where the upper control arm hits the spring upon full extension.

Due to the non-stock angles on the ball joints and the torn boots, i am worried moisture and corrosion my further compromise my ball joints.

Anyone experience this? How did you rectify the issue?
Has anyone changed their upper ball joints? I understand the ball joints are part of the control arms and they have to be changed together.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Does annyone with experience in this area think i am just being paranoid?

 

i plan to swap in some camburg upper control arms when i do my lift+leveling kit to avoid this problem. might be a route you want to go since you have to shell out some cash for new ball joints

 

Im sure you can grind ogg the old BJ's even if they are rivited on. Go with some sort of a heavy duty replacement

 

Don't know what wheels you're running, but Camburg UCAs need 5" max backspacing. Sucks if you want to run your factory wheels in the winter. That's what stopped me
