Hello all I recently bought a 14 1500 QC , I want to level it but have read about the ball joint issue so trying to see what the best direction is to go. Quick math is about 600 for beilstiens and new UCAs. On the other hand I can get a four inch lift for 1200 or so. What are your opinions?

I was going to go straight to 4" RC lift. Now I'm going to level w/ Bilstein, then if I want, I will add 4" lift.

No issues yet with rancho quick lift loaded, and none reported that i can think of, but if you want to lift later on bilsteins give you the adjustability to level the lift, look into mevotech control arms , they are about 50$ a piece i believe and people have been having great luck with them

It will not void your warranty, although they can deny individual warranty claims if they can prove that the cause of the problem is brought by the installed aftermarket parts.

And they will do this every time because they know any aftermarket suspension part can be used as a scapegoat for suspension/drivetrain problems.
