I think I'll hold off, then, until Moog releases the ones that they
say are correct. Hopefully it won't take any retailers a billion
years to start carrying them once they're released. Seems like they'd
be in pretty decent demand..
Josh, where'd you get your Dana joints? Are they the same size and
whatnot or did they require modification to get them to fit correctly?
If they make them to fit 2000+ 4x4s, that definitely sounds like the
way for me to go... I like lifetime warranties, particularly when they
come from trustworthy companies with solid products like Dana.
