I would certainly consider buying the tungsten carbide diff balls and thrust balls, then your diff will be glass mooth. The stock balls are good, just not as hard as carbide is.

Strangly, one of the things I really recommend for the truck is the front aluminum camber block as we run 4mm of shims under the inner ball stud and thats a lot of leverage on the plastic camber block.

Thanks for the info Ryan! I just ordered the diff and thrust balls and I will look into the aluminum camber block as I heard from other people as well that is the way to go.

Where did you order your diff and thrust balls from? Also where can we get the aluminum block from? I want to get everything that is helpful now for when I do the build

Edit found the diff and thrust balls on amain. Is there a part number for the block?

Good call on the front camber block

Are the STOCK ball studs long enough to suport the 4mm spacers or will we need longer ones?

$299 here as well. But if you use their coupon code you can get $25 off which will lower the price to $274 before shipping

This will likely not be the case. I dont see these shipping until next week at this time. Customs is being crazy with this one and it still has not been released. So, it has to get released and then on a truck and then here and then QA'd and then shipped.

But, all of that is after customs finishes, which is taking forever.
