Topic: To Jonny Joint or Not

[Talon84x4]

My first and a quick question, hoping not to get  too bad.

Going to be running chebbys, should I run some jonny joints on the rear shackles 4" back or is this even necessary and should stick with a solid mount?

Anyone running them with chevies? good idea? bad idea? 

If it's a good idea i'd rather do it now than later...I only have access to a good lincoln ever so rarely 

Thanks in advance

Run Pivot Blocks instead.
I'm running both, and the pivot blocks do way more than the Johnny Joints.

Noticed that's what you were running on another thred

Is there a place that sells them for a decent price, or is that something i'm going to have to fabricate?

If i'll have to make them, do you have a buildup that shows how or  maybe some some tips? specs?

[MiniSimp]

hmmm....specs.....uh....

Kinda hard to explain, look here: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=8233.msg198167#msg198167
bolt pattern is the same as Marlin's u-bolt flip kit plates, bottom plate is the same as spring perch, bolt is 3/4" Grade 8

talon,  the chevies  work fine without  the johnny joints,  but for super flex  do minisimps pivot thingy's

Thanks Glen and MiniSimp, will do. The chevies with probably more flex than i'll know what to do with.....for now  . One less thing to order and worry about.

anytime Talon

just buy 8 johny joints some dom and airshox and get some real world, useful flex and traction the first time around

  I would if I could

..but I lack the experience and the money 

I'll get there someday though...........someday
