my truck has a broken cv joint on the front right wheel grease everywhere.. anyone know of a more heavy duty or good place to get a stock one? i also figured i should replace the shocks while im into it. i have a leveling it on it and im stubbling on what size shocks i need im looking at rancho 5000 or 7000. i do like to drive on the beach and go through the mud from time to time but i want a smooth ride as well. any inputs will be much appreciated. picture of the truck in the gallery and in my profile

- 2007 silverado classic Z71 4WD

ussually napa has some good stuff, but I'm not sure. Somebody will prolly chime in hopefully. Just curious how much did you crank those keys, because that may have contributed to your bad cv shaft. Also some good shocks are any rancho or the bilstein 5100. personally I like the rancho cause I'm cheap

Autozone has lifetime replacement cv shafts that are fairly cheap. Rancho has a new RS5000 that is longer for trucks that have been leveled. Link..http://gorancho.com/assets/application_pdf/RanchoSuspension_MaxTravel.pdf

...may try asking somewhere that isn't in the detailing forum.
