You man, i'm wondering if your balljoints leak grease throught the storage pockets? Mine tend to leake due to the angle they are. DO yours?

Not really. Right after I grease them they do for a while but then they seal up pretty tight. I noticed one of them leaked a little after heavy off-roading, but thats normal. If it leaks a lot you might want to check for little holes, cracks, or if its even installed correctly. Its not really a 'seal proof' boot, its just there to keep a little grease in and most of the dirt out. Grease em' every oil change and you'll be stylin'!

Ok man, i just noticed that they are leakin all the time and i have to keep refillin them, it seems as if they are not sealed tight. Oh well...i'll figure out somethin. By the way, i took off the stabilizer bar, cuz it was a pain when off roading, no flex up front. Now the truck rides soo smooth and has more flex independently when i'm off roading. Some say it was not safe and would swerve but it hasn't done that because it the fabtech shocks are really stiff. Just thought i'd let ya know.

Good to know! Does it still make that hitting noise from the rubber stops when you go over bumps?

Yeah still does that, but i feel it less of an impact when it does happen because when the passenger side hits, it travels through the sway bar and i feel it on the left side too. Now it's quite soft. U can test it out if you want, removing the sway is pretty simple.

I'll have to try it. I use to take off the sway bars
on my Jeeps and they felt much better, so I'm
sure the same apllies to our trucks!
