    Thank you for your response. I’m pretty impressed with the 4 year mark on your NNBS. It’s also good to know they are not manufactured in house. While browsing, I also found that Rough Country makes a forged set for the GMT800 platform. Again, thank you for this response regarding the Freedom’s...

    No you understood right. Love how everyone always has their two cents to add on pages like these and it’s rarely anything pertinent or useful to the info to the topic at hand. I’m not your damn brother. Go eat a dick and mind your own business.

    It hasnt had ”lift keys” on it since 2016. It’s had GM white keys since then. Same as the ones on my Tahoe. Im well aware of the ill effects of torsion crank, regardless of what keys are in a given vehicle. YES I agree they are just wearing out. The initial question about beefier ends should...

    Your slick comment about “real lift” is what upset me. It was not needed and obviously completely no help at all. You weren’t trying to help initially, just being condescending regarding a setup that has worked well for me for almost 20 years. I’ve owned the vehicle in question since 2006. If...

    I average 60k miles plus annually driving in a variety of conditions all across a major metro city in conjunction with plenty of time off highway at our farm. When I say it’s eating them, I mean i have replaced the last two sets of Moog each year. So it’s not like it’s blowing through them super...

    And more specifically the auto industry has been in a race to the bottom now since the 70s. Product quality across the board continues to diminish with each passing year from OE and aftermarket manufacturers along with the quality of life for those individuals working within the industry itself...

    Sadly we live in manufactured obsolescence. The root of the issue is greed no doubt. My dad has a newer JD, a 42 Farmall H, and a 91 2355 JD. Guess which one is always down and in limp mode vs the other two that won’t die? I was ride or die GM until 07. Manufactured obsolescence is the only...

    Absolutely. And right to repair infringements across multiple industries. Been a topic of concern in the auto realm honestly since OBD. Now it’s hitting agriculture and everything.

    On a related note, I’ve spent the last 18 years of my career in the automotive industry. 15 of those in parts. 2 of those with a very well known off road chain. I’ve seen Moog warranty rates increase nationwide over the 10ish years or so. I’m guessing the quality control at Federal Mogul...

    My keys in both trucks are now GM whites. If you are unaware, this is an OE key that allows for ALMOST as much adjustment as aftermarket lift keys. They are not indexed as much however. GM put them on plow trucks, etc. for added front end adjustment due to added weight. Last time I checked, a...

    Good afternoon everyone. Quick question for the group. Anybody running Freedom Off Road UCA’s? If so, pros/cons? Been a Moog user for decades, but thinking about changing it up. Thanks in advance.
