I'm debating on ordering a set. I'm going to be doing gears shortly. Planning on upgrading the ball joints while it's apart and half tempted to do the knuckles too. I'm not showing signs of ball joint wear but I'm on 37s. I have all Steer smart components up front, the new steering box, and 6.8 caster but it still doesn't feel right driving down the highway.

That’s right brother, while there is the right mentality....

Should have known better than sharing my thoughts on here. This site costs me so much money. Surprised my wife hasn't figured out how to block it. Haha

On a serious note, for those who have installed theirs, how are you liking them after some time with them? Any dramatic improvements?

They help a lot in my opinion, really solidify everything. I dunno if youd notice as much with the shit factory ball joints, but they are so worth it

My steering is rock solid, so no improvement there , but the front end feels more planted and tighter. You definitely will notice a difference.
Now here’s some advise for when you receive them.

1- Don’t open the box and pull them out if you’re standing on a tile floor
2- don’t set them on your fender in the garage.
3- be sure to wear steel toe boots when handling them..........:)

Did you get the Currie uca joints? You know while there
I'm not taking the upper control arms off to do the gears. Maybe if I decide to adjust my caster again I'll go for it. I mean I'll already be messing with them.

Yes........ those are definitely a must have.....you have to get them, all the cool kids are doing it..... 🤣
Might as well drop the hemi in too, ya know, while youre kinda almost there
At this point I might as well just go to 1 tons. That would get me new knuckles, ball joints, gears and brakes. But then I'd have to buy new wheels. Not sure if I want to do that yet. Ha
