Okay. I'll talk to the dealership and see what they say about it. I don't have the most time to drive to Oklahoma. Thanks for the help

middle perch gone wrong

So yesterday I got off work for jury duty and didn't get picked so I figured I'd do something productive and do the perch mod. Went to parents house for use of tools and got cracking. I'm not new to suspension work, I've installed everything spring kits to air ride so I figured no big deal....I was wrong.

I started with the passenger side and was half way through when my dad shows up and ask if I need help. I told him if he wanted to prep the driver side that'd be great. I was compressing the coils still on the truck and then moving the perch up. He decided he was going to take out the coilover for me cause that would be easier and faster. Then he proceeds to impact the upper ball joint to the point where its no longer moving and tells me we have a problem.

So now I've got my perchs set but now I have a ball joint from hell. I spent the rest of the evening with the air chisel trying to just get the nut off and leave it for the night. So today I retapped to see if it was salvageable but it too far gone.

Anyone know the part # for the driver side upper a arm ball joint?

Pretty sure you have to buy the whole UCA, not just the ball joint.
