Thank you for your reply. Any insight into how often they were greased?

Good question. Supposedly the place where I had the UCAs installed does a once-over of the suspension whenever I am in there for an alignment (6 alignments since I've had the truck), but none of my service records from them mention greasing the ball joints. The dealership I go to for oil changes...

Not that the tech or I could see. Looks just like the passenger (normal) side. Out of the RL warranty period.

As the title suggests, I have 34k on my ReadyLift upper control arms and their respective upper ball joints. Was at the local tire/suspension shop yesterday doing seasonal tire swap and an alignment and was told there was too much play in the driver upper ball joint. The tech had me feel driver...

R.Duff, thanks for the intel on the Dobinsons! I just put the same coils in my truck after putting in Hellwig adjustable end links a couple weeks ago. Too early to give much report, but I made a point of hitting speed bumps, a dirt road, and the interstate on the way home - so far it is feeling...

Nice! Thanks for the info so far. Looking forward to more updates.

Did you end up putting in those Dobinsons? If so, what are your thoughts? Do they handle/eliminate the sag? How is the ride quality? Thanks.

Did you make any adjustments to the rear panhard bar or rear links? I eventually want to get back some of my factory rake and have considered the Claytons, but I assumed I would need to work on other rear suspension components to accomodate them. I usually have a 300 to 800 pound load in the...

Good call. Pretty odd they don't sell individual parts. How much did they charge you?

Shoot. Either the price has gone up across the board, or more likely, I had been looking at the wrong thing. $100/spacer is way too much in my opinion.

Yeah for me it was mostly about reducing the increased sway from the lift. I spend enough time on rough roads that I did not want to mess with the articulation by going to the tightest setting (although maybe the tightest setting wouldn't actually be that big of a difference). German luxury car...

Another thumbs up for the Hellwig sway bar here. I have a 1.5" spacer in the back, so I put the Hellwig on the middle setting. I did not do extended rear links. The new sway bar, at its current setting, allows me to take corners 5-10mph faster than I could without it. Minimal reduction in...

Thanks, Sugar. I had looked at the Mopar bump spacers and am still considering them, but the cost (~$60/each spacer before shipping cost and other required hardware) seems pretty steep. Maybe I'm being to picky?

So this is more of a hauling than a towing question, but I was directed over here when I posted in "suspension." Please see quoted post and share any experiences you might have with the below mentioned rear springs or other linear rate rear springs. Thank you.

Good call. Will post over there as well. Thank you.

I ride around with a 300-900lb load most of the time and the rear sag is killing me. I'm looking at two options for stiffer rear linear rate springs: 1) TufTruck 1211 https://www.tuftruck.com/product/ttc-1211-rear-suspension-coil-spring-kit/ 2) Dayton 350-905HD...

2.5-3" rear lift when empty or compared to how much you were sagging when towing/hauling? More than 2" rear lift and you would be overextending a Bilstein 5100 rear. Thanks! Trying to decide on TufTruck vs Dayton rear springs, but not much info on either.

Yeah I am aware of the kit, but judging by his post, it appears ff13375 does not have the SST and was able to get just the bump spacer. Since RL won't sell me one, I'm trying to find out if there is somewhere else I should look aside from the buy/sell/trade forums. Thank you.

Where were you able to get a Ready Lift bump stop spacer? When I called Ready Lift they would not agree to sell me individual parts of a kit and I can't seem to find any online. Thank you.

Did you end up deciding on a rear coil spring? If so, how do you like it and what did you go for? Thank you.
