Yea. Gonna are to watch that.

 

Hey @nfs257, these might be an option for the 5/8 lug clearance dilemma...
They use a 7/8" socket. Wouldn't be hard to make em open ended either. I'll try a socket on my wheels tommorow

Threepointwhoes and a couple sticks.

 

Has grease zerk, it's a ball joint.

 

No it's not. That's just a bolt.

I don't think its a ball joint. It taps into unibal spots. So it can't be a ball joint.

Has a nice taperd stud on it, looks pretty ball jointy to me

The bolt is to fill the spot for the grease zerk.

 

From their Facebook page

 

Everywhere they are calling it a ball joint, so must be a ball joint. There's high angle ball joints out there already, they are just more expensive than uniballs and might not be as strong since the stud is part of the ball itself.

 

Ahhh better photos always help.

Interesting.

Wonder if it's worth it.

 

Looks like a ball joint. Says greaseable. Never pumped grease into mine before. Nice for a dd.

 

I greased mine religiously when I was stock as fuck class, had 225k on the OEM ball joints when they came off. They even went through a roll over. Still had no measurable amount of play. So yes, great for a DD.

 

I had some open ended nuts and they wouldn't fit due to the conical seat.

 

Where did you tie your V windshield brace into? And what size tubing, I've got my whole interior torn apart working on the cage, I was thinking into the stock cross brace under the dash, or no? Thanks.

 

1.75" main tube, v bar 1.5" you can see I went between the 2 vents if you still want defrost. I welded the stock brace to the cage.

 

Ah I see, looks great, I have like 60 ft of .120, 1 1/2 and was just curious if that'd be big enough for the full cage but I guess I'll need some 1 3/4"

 

You could use both. Mine has 1.25 1.5 and 1.75 lol

 

I guess I just need to figure out where each one would go haha

 

I used about 100ft 1.75 and 20ft of 1.5. Wished I bought more 1.5 and used a bit less 1.75
