Default Aftermarket Ball Joints

So we've all had our run ins with death wobble, I bought a new adjustable track bar and replaced all four ball joints on my own within the last 10,000 miles. I made the mistake of buying the cheapo's from autozone and needless to say I am quite unhappy after a few days on the trails. So I want to know what you guys run as far as aftermarket adjustable ball joints. I need something that wont let me down, I think I would prefer greasable ones, and a warranty is always nice!

I went with Synergy and the quality is very good. Dynatrac also makes nice ones but they are a little on the pricey side although they are rebuildable. Both should last a long time.

Yea i have 35's now and moving up to 37's soon. If they're not adjustable then the camber will be a little funky...i think

Nope. It has been roughly 5000 miles since I installed my lift, 37's, and ball joints and I have had no odd wear issues. Heck about 800 miles after everything was installed I drove from Orange County, CA to Moab doing between 75 and 80mph pretty much the whole way with no issues.
