They've been holding up just fine... The wife hasn't even noticed any noise... The only time I've heard it is going on some really rough streets in Indy, at about 25mph... She didn't hear it then, either...
I'm not sure I'd hear it at all with M/T tires...
I need to get the tops done like the bottoms, though...
Thanks,
Mike

Want.
Progress?
I guess I could make some myself... but I'd rather spur development with dollars.

I can make a set for you and janesy (who has been after me for a set, as well)... They were still together after a bunch of miles, a bunch of loaded mountain driving, and a some off roading... All of this with the 87 springs, by the way... Lis made me take them off a week or so ago because they were squeaking, due to not being the greasable kind of heims, combined with the winter driving (though over 1/2 the squeeking was my shock boot washers rubbing on the upper frame mounts, due to having the 1/2" spacers in)...
Donny and Nick J., get with me via PM and we'll come up with a price and hook you up with a set, as soon as I can get the greasable ones in...
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mark, I just stumbled over this thread. Is this an available item now or still in the final phases? My end links are ok for now so I don't need anything currently just curious if they are available.

I still need to figure out what length I'm going to need. I may be doing something stupid (or awesome) soon.

I'm not actually producting these, yet... Just making a couple for a couple people to test right now... They survived my wife's driving, and some limited wheeling, but I want a couple others that I know (and already have lined up) to run them through paces before I sell them to everybody...
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, me too! I sort of have a reputation of stuff I build being "bullet-resistant" (or "wife resistant" as the case may be), and with the series of problems that others have had with aftermarket end links (quick disconnect or otherwise), I'd rather get quite a bit of testing on a few different vehicles in on these before really selling them...
Thanks,
Mike
