So if I get a megaphone I can get girls to arch their back and stick their boobies out?

I run dana spicers and they normally last me a few months. They are the best oem ones ive found.

I just found where I'm getting my ball joints!

Since there seems to be no real agreement I guess I'll just guess, ?? OH I ALMOST FORGOT, CAPS ARE OK!!

I've run moog, spicer, napa, crown..

Spicer hands down last the longest. Moog is a close second. I have killed a couple of sets of crowns in a single run.

I probably average 1-1.5 years on a set of spicers, pushing 35's with lets call it 'mild' abuse on my rig.

I broke a balljoint (jumped my rig) and replaced only one side with crown balljoints, so I had my 'old' spicers in one side, and crown in the other. Wore the crown out, replaced them with napa. Wore those out, replaced them with moog. The moog are starting to wear out, but the original spicers in the other side are still in pretty good shape.

I have a new set of spicer balljoints sitting on the shelf now, waiting for a warm day.
