OK here's the deal...
I'm considering replacing my RK "krawler joints" on my 3-link w/ new joints. I believe they are 1" shank... I am looking at going w/ Currie's 2.5" x 1"-shank Johnny joints...
Good Idea or Bad Idea?
I just plan to replace the lower arms joints at each end. The frame end is the new "hard poly" and the axle is the typical noisey "krawler joint".
It just doesnt meet my standards and Im not liking the stresses the new "hard poly" bushing is applying to the new mount and my unibody...
Is the Currie 2.5" x 1"shank Johnny Joint what I want?

Should I go JKS (or is it the same dang part?)

I would like some advice from people who actually wheel their rig and it still get street time.... Here's a few questions I would like answered:
1. Any issues w/ stability w/ johnny joints at each end on the Lowers?
2. Is this worth doing or am I just wasting my time?
3. Share your knowledge w/ me on the subject..
TIA,
Chris
