I am in the process of 4 linking the rear of my samurai. With a dual triangular set-up. I have 7/8 grins currently chromolys four joints. Will these work or do I need something a bit more stout? Thanks
 
If you're dual triangulated in the rear and you're confident you'll never slam down hard on the lower links then yeah, 7/8 should do it. The weak link of the heim is going to be the shank. As heavy as my rig is I didn't take no chances and did 1-1/4" Ruff stuffs.
 
I agree they'll work if you don't punish your lower links. They're more than adequate for the triangulation suspension forces. It'll be slamming the lowers on something that'll snap the shank. I use 7/8 upper and 1-1/4 lowers on my buggy...
 
Any certain style or brand better than another? Best bang for buck? Hate trail breaks rather do it right the first time around.

Ruff stuff all the way!! Can't beat the quality.
 
Back when I bought mine it was from a place called Filthy Motorsports. I got a heck of a deal and the joint are good quality with the higher static load ratings, but that's been a while...
