I'm lookin into the rebuildable ones. I think curries is greasable, but gonna wait until mid march, no point in having them sit in the trailer till then. BTW were gonna run w/o assist on the other jeep. Hopefully it will last until next year, then it'll be tbi'ed and full hydro'ed. There is the one front lateral trac bar upper heim that i need soon, just to move the jeep around. will pull it out soon and get you the measurements for the rebulidable greased one.

No prob on the steering away from assist, as long as it won't be street driven... we've driven the buggies down the street several times and it's a pain to do. Not hard, just tedious.
As far as the upper track bar, I don't think a rebuildable will fit in there. They're all too wide for the mount... the ones I've seen, anayway.

Well the decks finally painted and I made new shock brackets for the rear and installed the oem shocks off the 04' dually They work awsome.

I have the 8" rock ready double flex. Honestly it's *****. I only run it 5-6 times a year. The rear upper 4 link brackets have broken at least 5 times, finally I stopped replacing them eventhough its got a life time warranty, and took the new one and welded it to the axle mount. Then the whole mount ripped of the axle. When I swithch to 1tons, i'm gonna fab up a 3-link,IMO the only way to go. All 4 shocks have been replaced 2 times. I think fabtec is the way to go, but for what I use it for custom is. Also all 19 heim joints are desperatley in need of replacement. Skycracker quoted me $950 for 19 heims :--) I think for midwest wheeling greaseable urathane is best. And their springs saged down about 2", and my jeep is light(no doors,top,backseat,windshield).

been there with skyjacker on my 1st jeep when I knew little about 4wd's. when I got my 2nd jeep done we were planning out the thousands of dollars worth of just parts to put it all together. the only skyjacker part I would run was their transfer case shift linkage cuz its the best for the stock 231 t-case. Then I ended up working for the shop and I would talk customers out of skyjacker for all the same problems you listed above. then we started installign alot of kits from Rock Krawler. then I followed and redid the jeep all over again and ran Rock Krawler stuff and couldnt be more happy. the only problem is it takes 2 people to install the long arms once your ready to bolt the axles back in cuz the links are 2" solid stock steel.
