Mrs dianna, go with the moog upper and lower ball joints. they are true life time warrenty and greasable. i had an 06 4x4 with the 5.9 and i went through 3 sets of tire rod ends, drag lin, pitman arms and 1 factory set of ball joints. the tire rod ends and drag links were moog and i bought the news, took them bck and got a refund on them, no questions ask at o'rilleys. when i lifted it, the drop down bracket for my sway bar was to thick for the carppy bolt that was sent with the kit and the factory bolt. i got a grade8 1/2" bolt, hammered it on with my impact and that took the death wabble out, stiffened my steering and made it a better ride. due to the slop in the sway bar bracket and the death wabble, i went through all the steering components, to include 8 factory steering stabilizers, and even put a dual steer stab kit on it.
if the rear end hadnt been goin to crap, i woulda kept it. i only had 3000 left to pay on it, now i got a 2012 1tn with the 6.7 and 6spd auto, but it gets the same crappy mileage that my lifted 5.9 did (14-16mpg).
any1 know any mods or programmers that are dealer authorized? the dealership said they would do a 6" lift, certain programmers, exhaust systems and cold kits and still keep my 100,000 pwrtrain and 75,000 bumper-bumper warrenty, as long as the dealer installed the items.
