Well, I installed the heim kit yesterday and I like them alot. You will need a 14mm and 15mm deep socket and a couple large end wrenches to remove the fine threaded shock stud and bushing assembly and replace the with the heim joint. Very easy install and you don't have to unbolt or remove the bed. :tu::tu:

They are supposed to place the shocks in a better angle/mechanical position to reduce squeaking and binding. And also makes it very easy to install new qa1's the next time around.

I wonder if that would solve my popping problem when going up steep inclines and turning to the left:confused:

Could be a solution, I wonder, did you check to see if your left rear top shock mount/bushings are loose and moving just enought to make that sound?..hmmm???

On NLOC, I noticed there was a rash of broken top shafts as well, because the urethane bushings that're sent with them are too stiff to allow the shock to move well when the axle wraps up. Stan showed some genius when he came up with these. :tu: I'll be installing mine this week as well.

By the way, did you install bushings, or just crank the mount down directly onto the frame?
