Building control arms for a '91 4runner

Here is the lowdown,
I lifted my 91 4runner using ome medium duty coils (5.5 inches of lift).
I sleeved the stock control arms (plug and seam welded) to extend them and fabed a mimick of all pro’s panhard relocation bracket.
I am going to build some better control arms this summer and I was wondering what you all had experienced with the different types of joints out there.
I guess the consensus is that jonny joints are the way to go for the lowers.
Any thoughts….?

Johny Joint are servicable. The heim joint are not and gets noisy after a while. I have the AllPro upper and lower links. The upper ones are heim joint and it's noisy. I've got a family of crikets following me where ever I go...
