Hey thanks. I mentioned the TSB in the initial comment when I started this thread, but it kind of got off track, so I tried to pull it back. Hopefully someone will offer some help with the TSB.
All other, thanks for the comments. I have purchased the teraflex SS, and I will look into the "C" knuckle gussets. Thanks everyone. It is in the service center right now. I think I fould one that would cooperate. It took a little sweet talking, it was a lady at the counter of course.

Back on topic.
I'm really hoping someone finds this mysterious TSB on ball joints.

Ball Joint
I've never heard of ball joints failing from that small of a lift kit... in that small amount of time. There have been ball joint problems in Jeeps since cavemen, from the Liberty, to Wrangler, to (as Extreme 4x4 says) Glorified station wagons **Cough** Cherokee **Cough Cough**
Your suspensions geometry with a 2.5" spacer kit is still within stock limits. I wish I still worked at the dealer, I'd search and post a TSB # if there is one. Good luck, hope that other dealer you found comes through man! Sounds like that first place just wanted to get out from under that would have been warranty work.

I just checked mine. Both sides top and bottom are loose. I have a RC 2 1/2 lift with 285/75/16's on 16 x8 with 4.5 bs. 28,000 miles. I know a tech at the local stealership. I am going to check with him first and see if they will cover it. If not I'll do it myself.
