I kinda dig those new joints from Tera that use the stock TJ control arm bushings.

The opposite end would be a heim type joint.

If it were me, I would not use Heims. They are expensive and wear fast. I'd go with JJ on both ends, or JJ on one end with a stock rubber bushing on the other if your worried about road vibes. Granted, JJ's are just as expensive, but will last a lot longer. With minimal maintenance, you should be able to get them to last for life. If not, the bearing races are like $10 to replace and viola, new again.

i already have the JJ's for one end and made the brackets......guess i'll just stick with the heims for the other.......hopefully it will cut the noise:-\

I'm with Wayne, My vote would be JJ or some thing like that. you can find them on-line for $25-30 bucks if you look in the right place.

Heims wear out way to fast for my pocket book.

You're right, it backed off after 100+ offroad miles in one day. I got 'er tightened back up when we got back home.
