I'm needing to replace my upper and lower ball joints. I'm running 35s with a 4in lift. Is it worth the price to put in the heavy duty or stick with factory?

I have a similar set-up to yours. 04 Rubicon,4" lift and 35" Pitbulls. I recently replaced my bad OEM ball joints with Synergy ones. I really like them. A little tight at first, but smoothed out nicely after a short break-in period.

Thanks! I have a feeling I'm going with the G2 Heavy Duty

Can you tell a big difference on the ride?

IMO the actual ride isn't better, as it's a TJ, however having the piece of mind that what you have is heavier duty is always nice and well worth the extra cost.

Agreed, I've had mixed opinions from people to go heavy duty or not.

If you have the money, then by all means go with the heavy duty ones. Expect a similar ride while knowing they will with proper care last longer.

Yeah I don't particularly feel like buying new tires in the near future too!

Exactly. This is my first jeep, and when I bought it I told the salesman it rides rough as hell..He said, "It's a short wheelbase jeep, that's what you get". And having good parts on your jeep can definitely set your mind at ease.
