My Lift Bucking Up...

min9861 · March 17, 2007

my inner tie-rods, ball joints are bad. which makes my tires wear out unevenly in the front. so im in a situation of spending some money.

my question is, are there heavy-duty or aftermarket parts that can be replaced with instead of putting new stock parts back in it?

while im getting that done, im probably gonna change all the shocks. its currently sitting on fabtec;s, which i will never buy again. probably gonna upgrade to cst or bilsteins. how much would that run?

and my biggest question out of all

im running 16" rims with 35's. i rub very little while i turn as im reversing or driving up a hill. but thats it.

im gonna try to get 17s or 18' and new tires taht wont rub. but im not sure of the size of the tire taht i need to get. i want to stick with bf or nittos. i have 4.56 gears so i want it to be somewhat same size with rim/tire. any recommendation?

and yes, how often should i flush the diffrential fluid?

Actually for most parts the GM replacement no matter what part seams to last.

You can look at MOOG parts , but honestly factory replacement would do just fine

35's should be fine on a 6" lift. After a set of ball joint's and tie rods went to crap after only 30k, I upgraded to fabtech billet tie rods and custom ball joints. The tie rods have a lifetime warranty as well.
