Heim joints on the Full Traction Lift
Hello All,
I am interested in the full traction ultimate 3" lift but I am concerned by the comments that have been made about heim joints on the forum. I definitely don't want a front end that starts to rattle once the joints have a few miles on them (especially since I noticed that the joints themselves only have a 90 day warranty).
I like the ultimate lift because it corrects all the geometry issues caused by the lift with the adjustable track bar and control arms but I am worried about the joints.
Is there a reasonable alternative? Or are the heim joints a non-issue?

Trust me, the heim joints are a non-issue and I have to wonder if any of the nay-sayers out there have actually run a Full Traction lift before. For the record, I've had a Full Traction 6" long arm kit on my TJ for over a year now, it is a daily driver and a rig that I play hard in. And, I have no problem what so ever.
