Gt thunder used to make the kit for removable ball joints but due to the recent event that have happened to the company their kits are no longer available.. Is there any other manufacture that makes a kit like this or a ball joint that for sure works?

What "kit" all you do is sawzall off the ball joints, ream the hole and put aftermarket frap ball joints in there.

They sold the ball joints and then there was a little metal collar/spacer they Included and what ball joint is the one that you want?

Thats the video directly posted by them, I dont see any spacers/collar. Aftermarket arms dont use any collars or spacers either.

The lower arm, which you cant adjust anyways? You need to really be more clear what your talking about in the future. Unless the balljoint is no good I wouldnt bother doing the lowers. A used arm would be easier anyways. Wouldnt be to hard to make a spacer yourself out of some piping anyways.
