I feel your pain man, i feel your pain.

So what kinds of rod ends, or joints are some of you guys using? Whats the static load rating and brand? i dont know whether i will re-use some of my old joints or not. Im thinking of using BallisticFab's 2.63" joints on the frame end of my lowers for the rear, and some kind of Heim or rod end for the axle end (3/4" bore)
Opinions?

on my lower arms i'm running 18mm creeper joints bored to 3/4" (which i only shaved .165mm out of them)on the axle side. and 1.25 ruffstuff chryo treated hiems on the frame side 3/5" bore also. on the upper i'm running the ruffstuff chryo treated 7/8 hiems.

if you want i have a couple creeper joints laying around i'll sell ya for the price i got them, which was way cheaper than they sell for. brand new never ran.they have a 1.25 shank on 'em.

I wanna be one of the cool guys! Haha 8:00 am i'll be there!

Desert Rat

Redwood road (68) and Lehi main street (73) meet in Saratoga Springs. Chevrons on the Northwest corner. You cant miss it, it'll be the one with all the offroad rigs.
Easiest way to find it from PC, I-80 west to I-15 south, take the Lehi main street exit, turn west to Redwood road. You'll know it when you see it I was concerned about finding it my first run, but you'll see it, they'll be a buttload of Jeeps, tow rigs etc. Look forward to meeting you.

and the lehi main exit is exit 279

What size bore are they?

jmaxj

18mm which is just a hair off of 3/4. I bored mine out to 3/4

customzj73

That's what I would be running ha 3/4, what's the radial load on those and how much misalignment?
