100%. And if you've done it once, you antiseize everything so the 2nd time stuff comes apart easier.

Only person I've seen attempt rebuild was Overlander and IIRC it was such a pain that he gave up.

I bought the Dynatrac rebuildable for my JKU, thought it would save me time... pfffttt

They redesigned the BJ and replaced their online instructions with the new design; after an hour of trying to remove the cap that did not exist, I finally pressed it out, installed HD Crown on both sides.

The boot glue also takes 24 hours to fully cure, and they don't recommend fully greasing them until that time.

Contacted Dynatrac about the instructions, new design and how I destroyed the ball joint; they sent me a new set of ball joints that are still in the box, on the shelf. I'll use them like regular ball joints the next time I replace them and will not rebuild when that next time comes.
 
We have been busy with several projects going at once. We had a JT in for some 5.13’s and added some Nitto 38’s and Method wheels. This Jeep already had an EVO lift with KINGS.

Did an EVO 3.5” with KINGS on a JL with new Synergy Steering, PSC and Rockjock ram assist bracket. Of course when mixing aftermarket brands that weren’t designed together, you always run the risk of things needing some modifications. In this case, the Synergy steering bolt for the adjusting collar hit the bracket at full lock. Nothing a flapper can’t fix. Definitely took off a lot though haha

Also excited to see what EVO is releasing for those that want to run just a big 3.0 coilover for the JL/JT/JK. Some may have see in at Jeep Bash.

We are also working on a members build so will get some pics up on that soon!

On a serious note, how often do people really change out their ball joints especially if they've upgraded to HD ones? And, is it really that big of a deal? I mean, if you have the know how to do it once, if only to get something like these new MC ones in, why not do it again when you need to way way in the future. I guarantee you that most guys could do it faster and for less money than to try and "rebuild" something like this on a Jeep.

The PR44 I got from Ddays has Prosteers in it. Being that the axle was run in PA they have a lot of rust on them. I'm not going to even mess with trying to rebuild them when the time comes. Swap em for some Synergy HD's or the like and call it good.
