Finally got the part number for the Lower Ball Joints for my truck and I go to order them but the Chevy dealership tells me they are on Major Back Order and GM has no promised dates?!?!? My Luck!!!!! Too bad Energy Suspension doesnt make them, they emailed me back saying they might if they get a lot of inquires... This sucks!


Sorry to vent like this but I had to do it somewhere.

Yeah I actually need the Rubber Boots (guess I need to start reading over my own post , forgot to say that :) lol ) How can you get them for me? It would be much appreciated :) I have one more question though, for some reason I cannot find the orginal 4 nuts and bolts to hold the balljoint to the control arm. Im wondering if the belltech hardware can be used or not?

The reason I need the rubber boots is b.c. Im switching to Springs instead of Spindles. Wish I could have gone with the DJM kit and in the future if I go lower I will go with DJM and not Belltech.

I don't have really anything against BellTech except over losing my turning radius. sounds dumb but on an extended cab it really sucks. I called belltech before I bought there stuff and asked about turning radius and everything that needs to be done and the guy said turning radius will be factory... If I had gone lower it would have been ok though, i would expect it, but not with just 2 inches up front!... Anyways thought I would vent a little more :)

Good Place to do it!!!!
