Longfields? Why not just get the yukon birffield eliminator kit. It comes with Dana 44 u joints and is stout as . It's what my buddy and I are running never broke a joint (And it has a lifetime warranty) 425$. My buddy even put dana 60 u joints in his, I kept the 44s = easier. lol.
I agree dirty 30s no good but I would go w/o birfs. And its cheaper than the longfields.

i would have to disagree with that statement
bifield elimantors are barely stronger than a stock toyota birf in fact its a waste of money I have heard and seen it break on the trail and witnessed its carnage.
longfelds are the way to go if your running a toy axle its stronger than a stock dana 60. lifetime warranty and only $760 shipped to your door (including chromo hub gears)
Longfeld 30 spline 8,900 ft/lbs. of torque, 120 degrees of twist
Birfield Eliminator 5,000 ft/lbs. of torque, 40 degrees
stock birfield 3,700 ft/lbs. of torque, 30 degrees

Crappy broken birf elimnator


the guy who owned these crappy axles had enough this was his third breakage and now he runs longfeilds

Yup!
I might/will most likely end up going longfields, but my buddy said he could probably get me a deal on some dirty 30's, and depending on that deal, i might go that route.

well if you ever make up this way for some wheeling I can get you a deal on the longfeilds also you get to take a stack of banner stickers if you like. bobby said locals can play on his rock garden in his back yard too but only if he is home

So did a bunch of wheeling this weekend. Had a blast.
PISSES ME OFF THOUGH ONE OF MY TIE ROD ENDS ARE ALREADY WORN OUT, this sas hasn't even been on here long enough, nor have i wheeled it that much. Any suggestions on what to go with now in order to replace them? One of my buddy's told me all-pro's are the best ones, but i just wanted to get an opinion

Yea ive heard a few people saying to go that route, but i don't think i want to. What would make them better than TRE's? Keep in mind this is my DD and i don't like any steering slop.
I was thinking about going with the skys TRE's since they are the factory ones, i heard they were the best.

mike my TRE on the passenger side os worn out the All-pro high steer was installed in feb of this year. my TRE aare beefy and made in japan and its worn. I was palnning on going to hiems I can imagine the slop getting worse with heims.

my worn out TRE is on the tie rod the drag link TRE are still good, my hydro assit ram is on hiems so I figured the tie rod and drag link would be good with heims. I had the TG high steer kit installed for a while then switched out to the all pro thinking the chromoly arms and beefy fj-80 TRE's were stronger.

What i plan to do is cut out the stock crossmember and just run a solid bar across it and call it good. Then play around with the shock mounts and hopefully get them setup in a good position.
