    I ran the MOOGS from rockauto for like 6 years. These are the LBJs that I was once told that I'm putting my family and others on the road in danger because they'll explode. :rolleyes: When I redid my coils and UCAs I replaced them because I had everything else apart too. There was no detectable slop in them. I ended up putting in 555s. They seemed a little nicer, and that's what Lowrange Offroad was selling. $60 a piece iirc.

    In the end, OEM and aftermarket LBJs all suffer from the same basic design flaw, so IMO it doesn't matter *that* much... I plan to replace my LBJs at the same interval, OEM or not, so there's no point in spending double just to have OEM, but I'm not going to cheap out and buy store brand, either...

    I have used the moog 555s and had zero issues. I like being able to pump grease in them every 3000 Miles.
