Ball joint recommendations?

[Stefano]

Group, I am looking to replace all the ball joints on the front end of my TJ. Any recommendations on the best product to purchase? My style of driving is every day driving around Chicago and some trail ridding. I don’t live in an area where there’s many hills or mountains.

thanks!

Thank you as I just placed my order. Do you happen to know which ball joint of the same brand that connects to the pitman arm? I just noticed that the rubber boot has a cut.

Those aren't ball joints, those are tie rod ends. You can get a new drag link, such as this one:

Chris, out of curiosity, has anyone tried load bearing ball joints? Are they an overpriced gimmick, or are they worth it?

If anyone has tried them (or seen them in action), it's probably @mrblaine. I have no experience with them however.
