Anybody running the RMS AlterKation? Was it really worth the cost?

Have you had to replace the heim joints on the upper control arms? Thinking about this system but not crazy about heim joints.

I think the whole heim joints being junk thing is way overblown. For one, that came about back in the 60s/70s when people were literally taking the heim joints off of tractors and other farm equipment and trying to run them as four links and other suspension devices on high speed autos. Problem is those joints were never designed to take the consistent poundings a passenger car let alone a race car takes over the crappy roads we have.

Now a days, there's several top end makers of heim joints specifically for the automotive and racing hobby. From QA1 to Viking to even IRL and NASCAR. As long as one isn't trying run a heim off grandpa's 4020, you'll be fine. I don't know which brand Bill Reilly runs but I bet you it's not from Tractor Supply or God forbid Rural King/ Harbor Frieght
