only because ive heard that theres a weak point in a ujoint at the grease fitting. and from another argument i been having, supposedly **** can get in the fitting and that part wont last as long.... idk I can get a whole driveshaft there for 400 bucks, everything greasable.... but first i wanted to see if anyone had any major problems with them

the problem that people have with them is if you dont have the greasable joints the at some point your u-joints will fail, most likely at highway speeds, and destroy your transmission... get the greaseable ones...

going from my old worn out suspension to my new kit was like a whole different truck... u can get a good kit for around 700 for shocks and springs and its not too difficult to install... took me and two friends about 7 hours with no instructions and just a basic mechanical understanding... i got my kit from Rovertym.com for like 720 delivered...

yeah just check around... old man emu is good, rovertym is good... find land rover repair forums on the web and search around in their store, u should be able to track somethin down... there is a good deal of stuff out there that isnt worth the money so just post on here what you are thinkin about gettin and the majority of the time someone else here has already bought whatever it is you are thinkin about so you can get a pretty good assesment on whether or not it would be worth it... http://www.lrrforums.com/store/index...ategory_id=260 .. thats a good place to start
