XRF Ball Joints

[bike-maker]

Seeings how a lot of people here have been suffering from the same plague as me (worn out TTB ball joints), I figured I would let everyone know I just ordered a set of XRF ball joints for my truck from thetireclub.com. $108.28 for all 4. Shipping with Fedex was free.
Having replaced a set of Dana 50 TTB ball joints in the past with a set of Moog's, I should be able to give ya'll some kind of valid opinion on the XRF parts.
Am I the first BOOB to try these things out?
I also splurged for a set of the Moog adjustable ball joint eccentrics (K80108) from rock auto to the tune of about $55. The remainder of the worn out parts I find along the way will be purchased locally.
Since there has been so many questions on this subject recently, I'll try to snap some pictures during the process for those who haven't been unfortunate enough to experience it. I 'll get started as soon as the parts arrive.

Couldn't tell you; I sold the truck a couple of years ago. Would of been a good test too. It was a crew cab with a 4" lift kit and 35's, and I hauled a big fifth wheel with it.

Got my XRF ball joints in the mail today. They look like.........well..........ball joints.
Have read on the net about them being real stiff, but I was able to crack them loose and move them around by hand. From what I remember, they feel about as stiff as the Moogs I had installed in the past.
I'll update my progress as I go. My truck is too damn long to fit in my garage (about 6 feet too long), so I'll start working on it outside, weather permitting.

Does anyone know what the caster, camber, and toe in specs are supposed to be? I got some of the Moog adjustable bushings to go with the ball joints. Looks like I'll have to Jerry-rig some kind of apparatus to check it.
