Installing Balljoint Deletes On Cassie's LS Swapped Jeep Wrangler!

Most Jeep owners are fully aware of how much Balljoints can be a pain! With our larger tires, and heavy offroad use, the factory balljoints are just not up to the task and fail quickly. Even aftermarket balljoints have a hard time staying tight and reliable.. Its mostly due to the fact that the Balljoint design itself leaves a lot of room for improvement.
Some of you may be familiar with Balljoint Deletes, and some may have never heard of them!
Balljoint Deletes are not much harder to install compared to a typical balljoint job. But either way, its not a quick simple job... And its nice to know that we wont have to do this job over and over compared to a typical ball joint replacement.
In a way, these are kind of like a hybrid kingpin setup.. Some of you are familiar with a kingpin and know that they are very reliable and strong, some people refuse to own an axle that has balljoints! With this setup, we replace the tapered ball joint with the ball in socket design and swap over to a Spherical Rod Bearing setup that sits in a machined cup housing with a through bolt.

In this video, we show you how to install a set of balljoint deletes into a Jeep Wrangler Dana 30/44 axle. The process to install them is the same across all the years of the early Jeeps up till 2018. The Wrangler JL and JT have a different install, but its very similar.

If you never want to worry about pressing in balljoints again, and your looking for one of the strongest, tightest setups, then these are for you!

15% off Black Friday deal going on this weekend! Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! ALSO! READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, USE A TORQUE WRENCH… IF YOU DONT TORQUE EXACTLY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS THEN OF COURSE IT WILL DRIVE BAD, THE BEARINGS WILL HAVE TOO MUCH PRELOAD..

Great video as usual from you guys. It’s been awhile since I have watched any of your videos and was blown away by your weight loss, awesome job man congratulations

I’ve never had luck with synergy tie rod ends or ball joints. They tend to last 6-12 months for me and then they are done, that’s under 10k miles. The deletes I put in have been great.

2 weeks ago on the backside of Windrocks Cadillac Hill, my D44 ball joints decided to separate and my wheel nearly fell off. Had to leave the jeep and go to a store, get ball joints and come back and do a midnight ball joint job on the trail. Ordered the deletes ASAP!

I went to the deletes a couple years ago. Very happy that I did. ZERO ISSUES with them.

I'm Angolan and I have a jk 3.6 and I've been following all your videos since then, I've made some changes and I'm adapting to purchases and transport costs until here... Thank you for sharing excellent videos and I'm learning more and more.... You've lost weight... Good job ⚒ strong hug from Africa Angola

Love my deletes. They are so solid and improve both onroad and offroad handling.

Cassie, welcome back. You had me worried.

Cassie adds the class! You two have such a great energy when working together. It’s the fun couple/family dynamic that had me subscribe originally.
Cheers guys! You’re awesome

Well I'm sold. Been considering doing this but was a bit apprehensive because my JK is a daily. Glad to see Cassie back!! Happy T-Day yo!!

Happy Thanksgiving’s Day! Good to see Cassie again.

Checked my ball joints and to my complete surprise the drivers side were shot! I had no idea they were bad until you explained the correct way to check them. Just ordered a set of these bad boys with the 15% off, thank you SO much for sharing this video!

So glad I caught this video this weekend. I looked at these deletes a few weeks back but decided to wait due to price, but this discount is fantastic! Just ordered mine. Great install video per usual (appreciate the tips and jokes as well)!

This has been a Jeep part install weekend. I got my new Reign JLU on the 19th, and I have new bumped, rock sliders, flush mount tail lights, and more to install. Glad I have the time off for the holiday. ^.^

Looks like you’ve been getting fit, hope everything is going good.

You can also put the rear hub bolt half way in and put a socket and extension on it then turn the wheel to press it against the frame

Great Video! Thanks for sharing this. Might be our next Jeep upgrade.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Ben. I found the LSXR truck intake fits the same as the stock intake. I tried a Holley intake but the snout pushed the throttle body into the radiator. Fitec has the ls3 truck injectors. The Holley throttle body seems to be a better fit. Fabrats is using the same intake on the FJ build.

Bout to get a set for my jk 44 front end. Got dw as well but only over bumps over 50 mph

Nice Jeep, I regret selling my JL. Just changed ball joints in my JK Rubicon, looks like a good product.
