Rough Country 2.5" Lift long-term satisfaction?
#22
Score! okay then I have two of those in the RockAuto shopping cart...my next question is I'm going to get the high angle CV Joint installed but should I replace the LOWER ball joints as well since I will have the front end basically all apart? Are there recommendations for such a part?

But since I'm not replacing the lower control arm with the RC kit, I would want to get a part made for the Blazer and not the Chevy 1500 correct? Or would I want the matching set? Can I ask for you to link the part in RockAuto again?

And jut like that...Upper/lower ball joints, CV joint boot, and RC 2.5" lift to be delivered to my house next week. Ill update the thread at the next junction...if you wanna keep up with my build im gonna move somewhere into the wheels and tires section to get some good shoes for the truck.

I used the mevotech ttx txk6540 ball joints for a 2000 Sierra 1500 they are the size used in the rough country control arms got them from rock auto and they are super strong I find the stronger then the moog
u will need a press kit to remove the old ones and install the new ones and there is a c-clip inside holding them In

Update: I was able to get the lift installed! But the upper ball joints were too small to fit inside the threads. The mechanic explained it to me as “ it’s too small, it just floats, the threads don’t grab anything.” I don’t know if RC changed the control arm but those ball joints did not fit. Not a problem though. I will be contacting RC to reference through them the ball joints that can fit.
