I just don't see it as a spot that needs the utmost strength. It may not be as strong as a JJ or heim buy why does it need to be? It obviously works just fine the way it is.
Out of the hundreds of kits sold, what percentage of people who run the kit actually has something bad to say about it? .5%, maybe?

If ultimate strength is what you desire, why not cut off the uniframe and put a real ladder frame underneath? It would be much stronger.

OP, depending on your price range, the Clayton kit is very nice as is the one from serious offroad. Just a couple suggestions. Good luck with it. You'll love how the LAs ride and flex.

I run the iron rock long arms. I've put about 1000 miles on them. Took it to king of the hammers and drove it pretty gently through the sand. Went under the xj today to add a bit more caster and noticed that the adjuster was taco'ed by way of hitting the center section of the dana 30. Loosened the nuts on the adjuster and 4 of 5 were loose (all torqued to specs 1000 miles ago). Wasn't able to adjust it much due to the bent adjuster. Torqued it all back down except for one of the smaller nuts stripped before getting to the required torque. Now imagine if I had larger than stock tires or lockers?
