I have a 2002 4x2 with a belltech 3/4"drop. will ford warranty the ball joints? I hear a lot of popping in my driver's side when turing and hitting bumps.

I dont think that ford will cover your ball joints, especially since you put the drop on there. But, why should you be worried about ball joints already?? They shouldnt need to be replaced.

Hey, whats happenin? I havent seen you over at the world since I met you guys on the berlin tpk. Your trucks still looking good! I managed to throw some 20s on and a 3/4" drop since then. I also installed a ps2 and a 7" monitor and a 5"in the visor. I also have the bed rug, xlt front valance with fogs., and I Am sure I am missing a million other things.

thanks for the info on the pitman.

Ford just covered the ball joints and wheel hubs on my 99 4x4 under the ESP, but it is not lowered.

I used the belltech nitro drop shocks(they really suck) and I did not change the bumpstops on the front. I was going to trim them but I dont really haev any issues with hitting them up front. I hit the rears alot but those are the ones that came with the kit. These shocks just arent made for a truck this big., they must work ok on minis.
