I replaced the original front lower ball joints summer 2015 with Moog. I added the Daystar lift in 2016. I didn't like the way the rear sat about 1/2" lower than the front. I bought a pair of 1/4" aluminum wheel spacers and drilled holes to add to the top of my rear struts. It was the perfect addition to level out. I added the Ranchos to the Daystar + rear spacers in 2022. Lower ball joints are still good. I've replaced the Moog upper control arms with Advance Auto's lifetime warranty EVERY 2-3 years since ~2012. While changing the oil this summer, I saw one of my front CV boots is split and slung out the grease. Was it the lift, miles, age... combo of all? That boot and the UCAs seem like the only real casualties of the lift/lift stacking. Well, rack and pinion/steering seems a little sloppy, but again... lift, miles, age, combo?How are your ball joints holding up with the Daystar + Rancho? Your lift looks great. This is exactly what I want to do, but the naysayers are giving me doubts about reliability.
I'm up to 181k miles. Daily driver for work that is only a few miles away. I don't baby it. She just keeps going.
