I will first say that I chose the lifted forum only because I will be installing the lift during my front end rebuild.
So far on my list:
Front and Rear Sway bar endlinks (Mevotech w/ zerk fittings)
Front sway bar bushings (Prothane)
Upper and Lower ball Joints (either Mevotech or similar w/ Zerks)
Upper control are bushings (will also do the UTA flip)
Lower control arm bushings
New strut mounts (KYB)
New Tie rod ends inner and outer (Delco or similar, not cheap brand)
Front Hub Assembly (timken)
Bilstein HD front struts and still debating on the rear shocks.
I will also be installing Marks 2.5" lift
Now for the actual question, I have seen posts in the past about Mevotech. The only real complaint I have seen is that the boots can move around. Now For the LCA I am debating between either buying the entire assembly, or overhauling the individual components. Now for this I am looking at 2 options either the Mevotech ones which run about $119, or the Dorman ones which run for about $93. Can anyone comment on either? I have used Dorman in the past for other vehicles, but not for anything like ball joints/LCA.
Thanks for input.
