Checked the new lower balljoints compared to the factory ones and you can easily see the difference in height, this causes the upper not to tighten. So this week I will have to go and exchange them for the lifetime warrenty one which are Raybestos brand which seems to be supplied by spicer from what I have found.

On the plus side made $250 off the old Jimmy for a bunch of parts from the cab.
the height is not the problem,you need to adjust the sleeve in the upper to get it to seat and tighten and set preload, its a special 4 prong tool
for steering i was going to get the kit from wfo. 240 for draglink and tierod kit. thats all the ends dom and tube inserts you need
I can adjust the sleve (made own tool from a 3/4" socket) in the upper all the way down the 'c' and it jsut doesnt tighten up. Just seems like the taper is too soon on the bottom balljoint not letting the upper get up far enough, also I cant get a full nut on the lower either, tried few different times thinking it wasnt seating in the C right. If you watch the video posted I am having the exact same problem (minus not hitting the axle shafts since they are not in).
arms too?
i paid $120 for 6ft of dom and inserts with 2 heim joints, which was enough for a track bar and drag link, then gm 73-87 drag link rod ends were about $25 ea
