There shock proof stainless from swiss precision. Ive had this set for about a year now and still work great. They also have the extra smooth movement, supposed to be good to +\- .001, but I'd say about 3 tho. I had Brown and Sharpe aluminum ones before, they were way better, untill they got coolant in them, never worked the same after I had em rebuilt.

Better late than never...

I couldn't handle reading this whole thread so this may have already been answered but what's so special about this set-up? Looks pretty basic to me.

...Other than it has about 5 times too much lift on it.

^The jeep above is on a pirate4x4 build thread. He didnt have any weight on the suspension when he took that picture, "thats why my **** looks jacked up like a mud truck" is what he said i think.

A. Now OP i remember you starting a thread on something like this. Do you remember what i suggested you do since you dont have any money to do things right? RETURN TO STOCK.

B. Trev you seem like a great guy and saving this guy from himself is a really cool thing to do. I have a lot of respect for you(not that it matters) I hope jeep karma comes back to you 10 fold.
