Replacing a ball joint and found some suprises
Had a bad upper balljoint on the truck. While replacing the ball joint, I found this:
And the other side is just as rusty. Looks like I may have to pull this truck off the road soon and hold off on getting it painted. I plan on replacing everything on the front end of this truck. New upper/lower a-arms, poly bushings all around, and at that time I will install lowering spindles. I thought my suspension job was going to consist of just spindles and shackle/hangers.... obviously not. What do you guys recommend? Those aftermarket tubular arms sure do look great, but are they worth the extra cost? Should I just look for an oem set? Are there any companies that offer a complete suspension package or must everything be bought separate? Also, any companies out there sell complete bolt sets for the front end? Those bolts can't be re-used, and hopefully they come off! My plan was when I get home in May from Air Force basic training, finish the body work on the cab, swap my new bed on, and paint it. Obviously this is more important so I may have to get myself a cheap extra set of wheels to drive.
