use a drop drag link ONLY every ball flip i have seen done has failed
i ran a slightly modified draglink on a stock J arm for YEARS (14 to be exact) and never had a problem
some friends of mine, flipped their J arm balls and one guy broke his J arm plus a spare he had made in the same day on the same trail
I'll say it again the J arm is crap and it will break... Good call on the hi steer 4x4yota, you'll never regret it. Be sure to move the box as far forward as you can, chances are you'll end up moving the axle farther forward down the road and remounting the box is a pain..
Oh, here's a good example of a J arm.. This is shawnB's truck back in the day:gap:
