tire size has a bit to do with how long your ball joints will last me thinks!

Lots of factors play into this. Proper tire rotation, tire balance, alignment, lots of off road time... ETC....

How about the Unit Bearing. Do you have any experience with those? Is it possible for the ball bearings to literally fall out? After I did my lift I found these on the ground and couldn't figure out where they had come from but now I'm wondering if it was the unit bearing.

That is really crazy because I only had about 20K miles on it with the 32s before I put the lift on. I had wheeled it pretty good through some rocky Colorado Trails once last year but that's it. :icon_crazy:

Yeah, I didn't have the token leftover bolt so I thought I was good. Then I found those ball bearings and was like WTF. Couldn't figure out for the life of me where they had come from. :crazyeyes:

Damn mufflers, they're so problematic! :cheesy:
If those were really the size of your unit bearings, you have some real problems
Seriously, no, not on a JK.

:cheesy: I do. It is NOT possible for the bearings to literally fall out of a unit bearing like that on a JK. A TJ, sure but not on a JK.
So, I've been talking to some of my industry friends and found out that the Alloy USA and Synergy ball joints are in fact the same thing as the Crown HD joints and the Crowns are the most affordable. So, if you go this route, I would recommend you get Crowns and save a few bucks.

Those little mystery ball bearings came from somewhere.. :thinking: I'll probably be on the trail when I something goes to hell and I figure out where they came from... :banghead:
