      There are none that have the proper taper and size for the spindle, fit the stock upper A arms and are taller. If there were one that fit the spindle and was much taller, and fit the stock A arms and it was tall enoough to make any real difference you`d have to replace the upper A arms also in order to get a decent alignment out of it. If it were easy everyone would already be doing it. Believe me I spent countless hours cross referencing and measuring ball joints, I have notebooks full of measurments and diagrams, only to find I was looking for unicorns. Fortunatly today we have better alternatives and we`ve designed and built specific tall ball joints just for this application. Now there`s no need to try and cram parts from something else where they don`t belong. Mark SC&C
