Default Ball Joint Suggestions

I need to replace all of my stock ball joints due to normal wear. Any suggestions to replacements that will support my lift and 35's??
Thanks!

There is also the synergy ones also.. I myself have had the dynatracs for about 3 years and other than normal greasing, not one issue.. I wheel it pretty hard as often as possible.

I grabbed the Synergy ones since the Alloy USA (Rugged Ridge) ones were just being released and no one had reviews yet. From what I am hearing they supposedly are very close to the Synergy ones so at $170, it seems like a great alternative.

If you can't afford the Dynatrac like I couldn't at the time, MOOG is what I went with.

Just replaced stock ball joints at 30,000 miles with Dynatrac. Running a 3" lift with 35" Toyo M/Ts. Very satisfied with the Dynatracs.

Just went with Moog.

This and the teraflex track bar seem to have cured my death - wobble.


I was at 36,000
