A lot of people like Kingpin, and a lot like ball joint. Kingpin axles are not made anymore, just ball joint. From what I've heard, both are comparable in strength, but personally I like the Kingpin. That is what I have on both of my D60s.

with the kingpin axle it will be wayy easier to do a solid high-steer setup that will be farther up than if you did a balljoint axle. so KINGPIN!
