I'm going to be making a 4 link for my truck soon and need some joints.if you're building your own suspension links in the uk,which heims,rose joints,etc are you using and where are you buying them from?

you only have JJ's from USA for reliability - some people use a joint from tractor applications but they don't last long.

£35 vs £60

^ Wrong... anywher ein the UK JJ's start from £48 + the jam nut & + the insert... = about £80 + vat by the time you have bought a bolt also...

www.offroad-armoury.com for Creeper joints = £64.50 including all the above... + IMHO they are stronger joints.
