I saw something about these things and I was wondering if they work or if anyone has used them, cost, etc. they look like a good idea but I was thinking it might be just a good idea on paper  :dunno:

Work for me, you can see them in my build-up in Rig Gallery

Hyena

they work good for both leaf springs and links.

Tons of people run them. They are pretty common. All Pro sells them as well as Currie.
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough

Forget the johnny joints. The Rubicon express joints are way better. Rebuildable and easy to assemble. As they wear they can also be tightened up. Mine havent warn at all in over a year set up as my rear shackle hangers. They come in 3 different sizes also.

I'd love to see some pics of that setup got any?  I've been debating those RE joints for my rig

I bought 8 of these for the back of extend-a-toy... they came to under 400 bucks canadian for all 8 and I got the large 2.5inch ones.. there are 2 different sizes in the rubicon express line....  I believe it is 2 and 2.5 inch... although I havent checked into them for a while, there might be another size....

buy the big ones.. for the 8 dollars more per r.e. joint you may as well for the added strength and size..... unless space doesnt permit..

the never ending build...
