I have the Currie JJs in my FJ 40 - 4 link setup. Yep, they're quiet, and seem to move well, but here's the problem: they need a vice for a trail rebuild. I had a situation where one of the snap rings poped out and the link was loose. On a 4 link setup with no panhard bar, that's a disaster. A trail repair consisted of lots of rocks, grunt, sockets and channel lock pliers to get the bastard back in. ha HUGE waste of time. . . in future i'd go for Rubicon express ends that are made for H**ps, or perhaps one of the other vendors that make joints on this board. I wouldn't use heims for the simple fact that their wear can not be adjusted or comensated for in most cases and they will start to clunk and bang once the nylon, teflon or whatever wears down.

Believe me, with 18" stroke Fox airshox, i don't twist my control arms up enough to need the extra degrees of rotation (30 compared to 22) but one end that could rotate a lot might save some hyperextenstion of a lesser joint. . .
