Default Time for ball joints

Just curious if anybody has recommendations on ball joints, my 13 jku is going to need some soon. It's mainly a daily driver but I do wheel it on occasion. Currently has a 4" OME lift 35's and control arms. Any info will help guys. Thanks in advance.

I'm running synergy ball joints. So far they are working good but I don't have a lot of miles on them yet.

I have the Dynatrac Pro Rock 44 and it came with Synergies but they wore out in under two years...

I replaced them with the Dynatrac ones that are rebuildable

I have Synergy HD ball joints on mine, with 60,000 miles on them. Very little, if any wear in them so far.

Oh great!

Can you estimate the miles on them in that time? How much offroad time on them?

Pretty easy to google that answer....
But in short, a lot.
The price difference between synergy and teraflex however, is minimal; and the teraflex are preload adjustable as well as carry a lifetime warranty.

I've had Synergy now for 3 years with 35's and they seem fine, even with a torn boot the whole time.

If I were buying again though I'd go with whoever guarantees them the longest.
