Before you drop your truck, check your B-joints
and other links to be sure they cant first be
covered under warranty.

I installed my 2/3 groundforce drop. went to
have it aligned, Guy told me I needed a wheel
bearing and upper ball joint first!

Went to dealer expecting the worst. Off the
record he told me that the wheel bearing
would probably pass but ball joint a no-no. Im
putting the old coils back in and having it
done. WTF!

Truck has 17000km '01
Any thoughts?

I just think it was a bad ball joint or it was incorrectly installed or something. If it had something to do with your drop (a small drop at that) both ball joints would suffer at least in varying degrees. I think you'll be cool.

get some lower a-arms, new ball joints
already in them, makes for a much smoother
ride.
