In the rear im using the big johnny joints on every link and poly bushings on the lower axle end. The bushing helps keep noise down and actually softens the ride a bit. Plus they are easy to replace and require no maintenance

The front will be all 7/8ths ruff stuff heim joints with bushings on the lower axle end also
