I just replaced my lower ball joints the other day and i believe mine were 25 a side. Then again i work for Ford to i don't get charged for labor, and i get a cheaper price on parts. haha Soo whats everyone really just cranking the t-bars 4 times basically. Also don't the t-bars only raise up the front of the truck?

I'm a DD street guy. Got mine cranked 1 turn which helped the look IMO. Next time I think about it I'll go another 1/2 turn.

As is you can still see a little camber on my truck.. so I don't feel there is a problem with a mild T-bar crank and ball joint longevity. Once you go over center though it very well might become a problem.

let me correct my origional statement... my friend has personally shattered the tbars on his yoda while it was still IFS....

maybe they were weaker? idk.. i think if you crank em enough and beat on them hard enough for long enough you can shatter them...
