Lots of SRT10s are at stock height with blown boots. Go on Facebook, which is much more active than here, and you'll see lots of threads about it. All my cars are lowered, have gone decades with 10s of thousands of miles with no ball joint issues, but somehow these trucks seem to have higher...

When it comes to SRT10s you cannot tell me, "ball joints are ball joints" when there are countless threads about OEM and aftermarket brands blow out boots within weeks or months of replacement. Heck both lower ball joints on my truck have missing boots even at 51k miles. I have a vehicle 11...

I have never come across such shitty balljoints on vehicles than SRT10s. I'm a car collector and on lots of car forums and I've never seen people complain about the boots like on these trucks, OEM or aftermarket like Moog Problem Solver lines. They're a terrible design, period.

What year is your truck? Almost every SRT10 I've seen had ripped/missing balljoint boots, I don't understand why. No plans lowering the truck?

They're archiving, building and matching all data to find and match you in real life. Remember Big Brother is always watching and predicting what you're going to do...

Wasn't the DIY area supposed to open to the general public? I cannot access any of those threads since I'm not a supporting member. If I try to become a supporting member it blocks me from doing so lol.

Yes 2k clear lasts years if properly applied. I still ceramic coat over them as well since I coat almost everything on my vehicles. Here's an article explaining 2k clear coat: https://erapaints.com/1k-vs-2k-clear-coat/#:~:text=Using a 2K clear coat,are prone to surface damage.

I usually use 600 and as soon as you spray clearcoat it makes the lens crystal clear, I'll usually do 2-3 coats. Use 2000 to remove any orange peel then a polish to clean the lens up. Its more or less like painting and if needed paint correction. I've tired multiple $20 headlight restorers but...

I restore headlights as a side gig. You have to sand them quite a bit and use a 2K clearcoat, they'll come out looking brand new and last years.

I have the long reach, low profile version because all my cars are lowered and it actually lifts higher than any of the other models. https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-long-reach-low-profile-professional-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-blue-56641.html

Harbor Freight Daytona series are very, very, good floor jacks. Different models depending what you're looking for.

Have you measured the primaries and collectors? Its advertised at 1.8" primaries and 3" collector. What about the missing welds around the exterior of the primaries, do they seem sealed? I've never seen 3/4 welds like that, usually primaries are welded all around the exterior. Have you put a...

I'd like to know how it goes as well.

Appreciate the info! However the truck I was going to buy sold, so I won't have to worry about this right now. I'll bookmark this info for future use!

Top speed runs were done with RCs and did 154 MPH stock. The truck had to make multiple runs and took the average speed.
