yep, got a new set free, but i dont expect them to last long. Im doing a suspension overhaul in the spring and will throw in some fancy uniballs come then.

I got about 60k out of my SPC ball joints, probably could have gotten more if the boot around them fit properly and I had greased them occasionally. They changed the boot design now though, so I'm expecting the second set of ball joints to last at least as long as the first set.
Still on the original bushings too (pre-SpecRide or whatever they call them). Key is to torque the arm to spec with the truck on the ground.
Uniball designs seem stronger and simpler, but you gotta stay on top of keeping the ball greased up. With all the road salt around here in the winter, I bet I'd be replacing the ball every spring.
