Keep RC 3.5 or take out....tired of ball joints ever yr
 

Hello folks....looking for some advice/opinions as I am on the fence with either completely removing this lift and going stock or trying the knuckles for last effort.....

backstory....2010 Silverado 1500 cc shorty 4x4 lifted 315/70/17 duratracs 5 yrs ago on RC 3.5 lift...after 6 mnths needed new upper and lower BJ's, so I put in the cheapest lifetime parts I could find figuring I was gonna be doing this a few times....turns out I was right...
and since then every yr when I take winters off to put the duratracs on I also bull all control arms off and swap out for new ones as the BJ's are always shot....my winters are also much smaller tire. 265/70 /17. That u run for atleast 5 mnths of the yr....
So last yr when the Rona hit and everything was shut down I couldn't just swap out my control arms cu everything here was closed so I opted for the RC forged uppers in hopes of atleast eliminating half of my work every yr.....nope
So here I am now pondering what to do....I called and got a new set of control arms coming from RC under warranty but am def not putting them on, I have my brand new OEMs and I also ordered a set of knuckles since I got them at cost cuz of the warranty issue......

So here is where I am on the fence....take lift out and go back stock and never have to do this job again, or run knuckles. Anyone run knuckles and what is your real world experience....RC assures me that it will resolve my upper problems, but they also told me that about the forged arms too....

I am a few yrs older now and would be okay with stock height truck, but if the real answer is these knuckles then I would also be willing to do that too...thanks for any input
