While installing a lift..

[TacticalSR5]

Is there anything that can be replaced easily in particular while it's all torn down? Such as ball joints, bushings and tie rod ends? Anything that may go bad Id like to just go ahead and replace with Moog/high quality stuff since I'm already there.

What do you think?

I believe a few ppl on this site had issue with some Moog parts. I believe I read it in a thread about ball joint replacement.

x2...
Do you want high quality or do you want Moog? You can only have 1. If you want high quality, go OEM

AS far as what to replace, yeah I'd say LBJ's are an option. If you need to replace your TRE's anyway, then I'd say you could do all that at the same time, but don't replace everything just because you will be in there. Make sure you need to replace it anyway.

You could do your diff oil both front and back while you have it jacked up. That is more likely to need changing.

Do the extended rear diff breather if you havn't already. This is a good opportunity for that.

I did LBJs and TREs while doing my lift and it was very time consuming and frustrating. BUT I do have peace of mind that they're done. but yeah it was a pain. are you in Oklahoma??

:moping:GOOD TO KNOW, I always thought MOOG would be overachiever stuff and I would have been happy to replace all my stuff with their brand.

Yes I live in Edmond right now. Soon to be Stillwater/Edmond


***Today I went ahead and jacked my front wheels up one at a time and shook the everliving :toilet: out of them. up and down/side to side with no movement or play at all. What else can I check for?
