How To : Flip Ball Joints

Thanks, I will have to get some longer bolts with nuts then..

This has been the easiest and best trick I have ever used. Thank you

Im glad to see i can come back here after a year of not being on the site at all and find ppl still using my write up

will flipping my ball joints, effect my turning substantially? and is it possible to just re drill the holes for the BJ on top, and move it out farther to help with camber issues?

thanks i am going to do it tomorrow 4-29-11 i will let you know how it goes

Is there any downside to doing this flip?

Hey guys stopping back in again to check out. No there is no downside to doing this mode. It will actually help you to avoid blowing out ball joints. It will not change the characteristics of how the truck handles. I would not redrill the control arm that is just asking for bad things to happen.

I just read the article & need to replace front ball joint anyways....so Im gonna do it to this weekend.

While I'm there....just gonna replace front shocks also-what are the shorter shocks to use? A Isuzu PUP? Or?

Thanx

there is another thread but use the izuz 4x4 shocks they are the lower profile and easy install.
