This is what you need . . . Anything less isnt going to do the job
I don't notice mine very much mite be the landrover arches hiding it abit
I can see any other job for them to do other then centre it up and there stronger but standered ones are easyerly strengthened
I mite be missing some thing do they do any thing else?
As they are used to centralize the axles to the chassis if the are not set correctly then you are essensially crabbing as you drive , not only does this make an allready twitchy ride even more unstable but it causes unnessesary strain and wear on the whole drive line including tyres
On to saftey the stock rods are made of cheese and if you bend one you WILL roll the truck , on a standard jim this wouldnt happen but as you lift and pull the driveline out of scew it adds much more stress to the rods
has to be positives and negatives on this. having adjustable rods will as has been said centre the body over the axles meaning even weight distribution. conversely having adjustable rods adjusted incorrectly will mean your chances of ever having the tracking done are reduced to zero.
i have adjustable rods so i have no choice but as i use mine off road i'm happier that my weight is evenly ( or as evenly as possible ) distributed
