These are the places XRF told me to get them but they gave me a list close to my area. I would email them and tell them your location and they will give you a list.
I put mine in last night along with a Solid Steel Steering Stabilizer and the truck is better than the first day off the lot.
I also did the front U Joints while I was in there so no going back later

i think they look pretty good, better then the moog i used last year.
i might try them out. i would rather change out my ball joints every year or so along with everything thing else,like axle u joints, cause it makes them easier to replace, not rusted in solid, and the u joints go bad anyway, and i sure would be ****** to buy 1000 dollar ball joints to wreck them when everything had to come apart to change out u joints or wheel bearings. but thats me.

I personally don't want to tear any of my front end apart again after i change em out because you pull those axle shafts enough and your inner axle seals are bound to start leaking and then your into pulling front diff. carriage to replace those.....
check out the dynatrac ball joints, cheaper then the carlis and you can rebuild them in the knuckle.

Interesting but I can't see where they look any different than Moog from the outside, as far as I can remember anyway.
It looks like we got the ball joints covered pretty well now anyway.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME SUPERDUTY U-JOINTS???
I just got some Spicers for the front axle, and I guess that's as good as it gets right now. These will be the second set I've replaced.

Truth is nobody knows anything about Carli or XRF ball joints only word of mouth and what the sellers tell you. I am sure Carli joints are nice but the price is way off side .
If I get only double the life I got from the stock units I would be happy but from the looks of them I should get far more.

Actually there are many of us that know a lot about the Carli Joints
The XRFs are the same size as stock...........The carli joints are the only joints I have seen yet that are larger.Here is a comparison photo

I don't know if my ball joints were shot but I thought since I was getting the
u-joints done I might as well replace em with good ones.
They may not look any better than Moog or Dodge units but they are made from better stuff so they should last a while.
The Carli units may be better and maybe not? I am happy with not paying $550 USD for a pair

Yah, ****** me off the dealer did my axle u joints but not the BJ's, doesn't hardly make sense...
While I have no doubt Carli BJ's are the best out there they are very pricey.

I took em to the Dodge dealer and had a few things done and put the DSS in myself because it only takes 15 minutes.

Maybe not? What are you basing that on? Carli tests them in trucks that punish all parts and break oem components left and right. They would know if they weren't any better. I get they are expensive (agreed) but if I never change them again, it was money well spent. I'd rather do it once for $550 than 4 times for 150 each time.
I am sure the Carli units are great but maybe these will be as well? I am not knocking Carli units but letting guys know there may be a far lower priced option.
I hope the Carli's are worth the money.
