Default What longarm joints are on my XJ? Pics inside.

Hey everyone, I have a 99XJ that has a Rock Krawler Long Arm kit on it. At some point, the arms were drilled out and tapped for bigger joints. The joints that are on it have a 1 1/4" shank, a 2 1/2" diameter head, a 2 5/8" mounting width and have a large C clip holding the joint together. Basically, i'm wondering what joints I have so I can see if I can rebuild them instead of replacing them. Any ideas?





This picture shows my joint beside a Rock Krawler 3/4" shank, 2" head and 2 5/8" mounting width joint.

they do look similar, however these joints were around wayyy before the RC ones came out I believe. The help is much appreciated though.

This thread just went up tonight here and on JF and I have a bunch of answers already. One of the reasons I love owning a jeep, because of the community.

Thanks everyone, looks like I have some Johnny Joints.

From their website it seems it's only a $5 difference to rebuild a joint or buy a new one. Am I seeing something wrong?
