I have a 2011 Ram 1500 with a 6'' RCX suspension lift and 37'' Nittos on 20'' rims. Passenger lower ball joint is going out and I figured I'd replace driver and passenger side while I'm at it. It looks like I have to buy the control arm and ball joint assembly together (not just ball joint) I want to beef up my front suspensions since I live on a gravel road and it's pretty bumpy. From what I've read here it looks like MOOG is the way to go (as opposed to factory MOPAR)
A few questions
- anyone install the MOOG control arm and ball joint assembly? Wondering if this is something I want to try and do myself...I replaced wheel bearing assembly and that was a bit of a pain. If it's easier than replacing wheel bearing assembly I may do it myself but I wasn't sure on the complexity.
- From what I can tell the Moog part I need is RK621605 and Rk621606. I'm having trouble finding this part online...looks like RockAuto has it but I've never used them before. Any recommendations on places to purchase?
- Anything else I should replace while I'm at it (bushings, etc..)
Thanks
