[QUOTE="JDodd, post: 631971, member: 3629"] I am going to stay away from ball joints because of strength, cost and serviceability. The way I have them now if a bearing was to fail the assembly is still captive so you won’t have your wheel coming off. Another reason is you can easily replace the bearings in the field with just a wrench and a hammer. Steering I can easily make them have 50 degrees of steering if that is wanted, right now I have them physically limited to 45 due to what RCV recommends. Weight is about 57lbs so you’ll save 13lbs over a dana 60 setup. I'm not sure on the height of the 60’s but these are 14.25” over all height. [/QUOTE]
