So I did a search and got so many different answers. I’m looking at replacing ball joints in my 15 rubicon running 35’s. I don’t want to spend $600 or modify the Jeep to make replacement ball joints work. What would be a good replacement for some off roading but also a lot of freeway miles. If I could afford the dynatrec I would get them but it’s just not in my price range right now. Adding part numbers to the suggestions will help me out a lot. Thanks in advance

The DT ball joints ain't all that....if you were going to spend $600 on anything it would be Rare Parts. Since that isn't in the discussion, Teraflex is probably what most of us would say is the next best option.

I was trying to find the new version part number that doesn’t require grinding the axle. Would you happen to know the part numbers to them?

@Sv_dude just installed these and had the same concern, and was told those directions were on the old design -
