    Is my tire suppose to do this?

    Tried to post a pic. I broke a ball joint front passenger side. Looks like someone out cheap parts under an 8 inch lift. With a chevy 2500 hd they should have known better.

    8 inch lifts would put untold pressures on suspension parts. I see no reason to have to use a step ladder to get into any truck--other than keeping the wife out of riding with me.

    That may have been what busted the ball joint.

    8" Lift would require a 12-14" drop on trailer hitch too!!

    Lifts are hard on the suspension. Bought my son a 2004 F250, spent a lot of money replacing suspension parts on a truck where it shouldn’t have needed them at the mileage it had on it.

    Fat girls need loving too, at least that’s what I’ve been told.

    Even expensive parts under an 8” lift will cause failure.

    Ball Joints only have a certain degree of travel. There are or at least were extra travel ones made for custom installations.
