I currently run that one and I can say it is good for about 20k miles before the joint starts going bad as mine currently is.

I got a good friend at Advance I will go by and see him tomorrow. We will lay the 2 out side by side and measure them. Do you think they will be long enough to allow full articulation of the system?

It is common for people with 4.5" lifts to utilize the YJ lines. Look at our mod KTMracer's rig, he is using YJ lines and I would say that he has very good articulation.

Double trouble for you. I had a superlift trackbar with a heim joint. I was swapping that heim out every 12k. It got too loose and clunked all the time. Annoying. I don't think heim joints can handle road-use that well. This is a big issue on skyjacker's long arm kits for tj's.

Thats exactly it, the clunking is starting to drive me crazy.
