strongest ball joints?

[redneckz71]

I've just been doing a lot of research since I've got my truck abd i know from past experience that the ball joints take a good amount of abuse. I've searched and looked other places and haven't been able to locate a ball joint other than stock replacement. So my question is are there any bullet proof ball joints for our trucks or are we stuck with Farrar and moog type stock style replacements. Thanks in advance.

x2 on Moog. There's a reason NASCAR uses Moog (slightly different parts for NASCAR of course, but still)

What kind of life are you guys getting out of the moogs? My rig as of now has seen at least 1day a week of pretty heavy off roading. I'd like to find something that's going to last even with heavy abuse

Keep them well greased and they should be fine. Also not cranking the torsion bars more than necessary will reduce stress on them.

Moog or raybestos will be the best. They usually have a 3 year warranty. Some parts stores carry a cheaper brand for about half of the cost that has a 1 year warranty.

Whatever you do don't get the Raybestos service grade ones. Does XRF make ball joints for these? If so those things are bullet proof.
