What else while doing steering upgrades

[MSFTMatt]

I asked this same question when doing my lift and the help I received was extremely beneficial, so I figured I'd ask same question for a new topic. I will be upgrading my steering components shortly, hoping for some Labor Day sales, and wanted to do as much as needed while its torn apart. I plan on...
RPM 2.5 ton drag link and tie-rod
Steer Smarts sector shaft brace
Clayton steering stabilizer relocation bracket
2" I.D heavy duty 6 bolt stabilizer clamp for Falcon
Falcon steering stabilizer (still deciding on which one)
Anything else I should do while in there?
Thanks!

If you're running 35s or larger, replace your balljoints. You have to take the steering off anyway, you're halfway there.

I am running 37’s. What’s the general consensus on which ones? I know there are several options.

6 months ago I would have said Dynatrac, but there are some recent instances of issues there, so I put metal cloak baller joints on mine. Catch them on sale for 10% off for labor day.

The large nut on the upper keeps the knuckle attached should you blow a u-joint.

My OG ball joints were smoked at 25K with 37s.

Awesome! Thanks man!

Enjoy, if you have specific questions, let me know. The ball joints did more to eliminate wobbles and make this thing drive right than everything else I've done to it.

I’m sure I’ll end up taking you up on that offer.
