wait so those balljoints are exactly the same as ford ranger balljoints? so the first time i replaced the ball joints i could have jsut went to a local parts store and asked for ranger balljoints, instead of waiting a month for godfather customs to get them to me?

he is using early gen dakota balljoints..i had races machined and then i modified his arms to fit a early gen.

and yes you could have done that instead of waiting..im not sure what years joints they use though

thanks pretty much my main fab jobs are suspension work (bags, notches, pro stock chassis and so on. let me know what you need done and we can work somehting out. majority of my work is all one-off and fabbed to customer request.

as for the welding lots of pratice. i welded in college and HS. all my degrees are in high performance and auto. i used to build race car chassis and dyno tune/machine the engines for a living. now i work for GM as lead tech (high speed testing) working with prototype forced induction (turbo's and SC) plus i have to train old guyus on how to weld stainless since we upgraded (full fabbed dyno parts are stainless or billet)
