I don't know anyone personally, but I've seen pictures of 2 diff trucks on this forum and the otherz . One was a 13 with 2.5" and I believe the other was on here a 14 with a spacer kit ( I don't know the size of that one )
Both wer on the drivers side ...
Because of those pics & overwhelming advice from members here I went with bilsteins @2.8 " and for $100.00 I installed Mevotech UCA'S .
Nice things about the Mevotecs (from
www.rockauto.com ) for $49 each it's cheep insurance and I still have the OEM ones if I have issues with the mevos. Doubt it though the Mevotecs are solid !
One thing most complain about with a spacer kit is the ride quality goes down , not issues with the ball joints . As a whole very few to my knowledge have had any issues with the ball joints .
If you don't drive like a maniac or do ROUGH offroading you'll probably be fine . Your ride may worsen a bit .
Hope this helps
