Nothing wrong with duratrac’s, a ton of service vehicles around me run them with great results.

We get Fleet discounts on GY's. If we can find a goodyear store that isn't too ignorant, and actually wants to change tires on fullsize trucks.
Most goodyear stores won't touch work trucks because they ''won't fit on our lifts''. Despite the simple fact that it's far FAR easier to remove the wheels in the parking lot with floor jacks. Pity the idiot tire tech that want's to lift 37" tires, 4 feet up, to a truck on a lift. Suckers. Out in the lot you only have to lift them 1", and you can do it sitting down, and use your knees to help lift them.
If we had to pay retail, especially for larger than stock sizes, Cooper makes a better tire in the STT an ST Maxx.

The engineer in me would rank ball joints as
1. EMF - rebuild-able without removal, good quality, also cheapest of the bunch, better design then dynatrac
2. Carli - heard they are bulletproof but need to fall out of the carli spec and removed and sent back for analysis and then replacement by carli if confirmed out of spec (labor and shipping on you, +sounds like down time)
3. Dynatrac - screams poorly engineered to me even if the design is sufficient (and i usually like dynatrac products)
*have never heard of issues of using any of the 3 above even through a good amount of abuse.
