We are not Responsible for anything you may or may not do.
What you may see or hear I see in this video does not replace a factory manuals or instructions from like a Chilton or from the manufacturer’s instructions of the vehicle.
Working on vehicles is dangerous and can be deadly to you, others and property.
Always remember to chock the wheels of the vehicle use plenty of jackstands, and I always like to go ahead and roll the tire underneath a part of the frame as an additional just in case thing.

We are not responsible for anything you may or may not do. This is for entertainment, and hopefully a little bit of education.

I’m glad I got my upper control arms from Rough country a couple years ago. They were cast iron back then, not garbage aluminum they are made of now.
The above link is for the replacement ball joint.

We have the lift block under the strut and on the top of it for the 2.5” of max leveling. The upper control arms we have from rough country have the right angle for that lift. It’s important to get this geometry correct so your tires wear even.
You MUST get an alignment after replacing ball joints.
