[QUOTE="boardbysled, post: 1481152, member: 18596"] I ran heims on a (well used to be) DD rig. 2 years, ~6000 miles, + many wheeling trips and they are not even showing any wear. Ballistic fab cheapies FWIW, if i were to do it again, I would go with some from Ruffstuff. The biggest thing with hiems is to buy quality ones, and run them in double shear. When you run them in single shear, they will loosen the bolts up. Another thing is, smaller hiems will wear out faster, less 'bearing' area = greater wear. I run 7/8x3/4" hiems, necked down with high misalignment spacers for a 5/8" bolt. [/QUOTE]
