Yeah after I looked around I came to the same conclusion.

I think they're referring to stock stuff though, not one-ton upgrade.

Currie makes a great kit... Crown... Omix Ada makes on too... I think Rugged Ridge makes one too but uhhhh.... no tellin' what joints they really use.

Of course, spicer like was mentioned.

rugged ridge are garbage. They use their own tie rods to ensure people can only buy replacements from them only.

Lol, oh interwebz.

Moog linkage parts, Spicer Ujoints, Federal Mogul bearings. Combo I've always used, and likely always will. No product is 100% perfect 100% of the time, that's life.

Quality control is falling across the board, welcome to our WalMart society...

I used the crown ZJ steering when I did mine. I don't like their tre boots though. Plastic-y and brittle. Oh well.

Oh, and I bought an optima yellow top and an isolator to start on my dual battery setup. Gotta go order these intake parts from spectre to get that airbox out of the way.

A lot more fun than looking at how much the internet wants for a good pair of battery wire crimpers. What do you use?

Rugged Ridge, Crown, RT Off-Road and Omix Ada are all the same company, just different divisions.
