**High Clearance versions require welding!**
Fitment: Please choose an option based off of the year vehicle your axle was originally installed in as well as your desired bushing offset (0 degree, 1.5 degree, or 3 degree). Off-road rigs generally benefit from a 3 degree bushing to gain negative camber while lifted rigs also benefit in that they can gain back the positive caster lost when lifting. The 1.5 degree bushing option is available for more “stock” applications. Popular settings are -3* camber (mostly used in Ultra4 style builds), -1.5* camber/+1.5* caster, -1* camber/+2* caster, and -.5* camber/+2.5* caster. Stock lower ball joints see less failures but are susceptible to “push out.” This happens when a shaft breaks and pushes the joint out the bottom of the knuckle. The lower system uses the same basic design as the upper, with a steel cone to match the tapered hole in the knuckle.
Looking to weld your kit?: The press fit systems can be welded in by simply removing the clear zinc coating, please see the instructions for more details.

Top Notch Customer Service!! I had issues with my JK after doing the ball joint delete along with many other suspension upgrades. Had issues with Jeep wondering extremely bad and no return to center. Spoke with Josh numerous times and he sent me a new rebuild kit and was extremely helpful with narrowing down my issues to get my jeep back safely on the road. Also supporting an American owned business is always a benefit. Highly recommend this kit. I do recommend reading the instructions thoroughly first. The videos I watched on YouTube to get a visual do not follow the instructions.
Great product and great customer support......when you call you actually talk to a human!!!! Josh is awesome. Minor manufacturing issue with one of my bushings and Josh sent out a replacement that day. Install went flawlessly and the 3 degree correction helped me dial back my pinion angle 3 degrees. Thank you!
This company is amazing!! I had purchased the Gen 1 for a 2018 JL and over the last few months they were starting to make a noise. Contacted them and they overnighted a newer version!! I’ve never dealt with a company like this. The ball joint deletes are amazing. I never had any fear of them breaking on the trail. And they actually made my steering a lot better!! I’m a costumer for life!!
Awesome kit. Straightforward and easy to install.
Used these on a lot of builds. Can't beat the quality!
