[QUOTE="NotStock, post: 707142, member: 862"] There are lots of different steering configurations and comparing a heavy/medium duty truck to that of our 3/4 ton trucks is apples to oranges. The simple size and mass of the steering components in a class 8 are 10x that of our trucks while yet they have similar size tires (when compared to many lifted trucks). You are 100% correct in saying that not all heims are same but they all have similar construction. Which is where the inherent flaw lies. The higher end ones will have a longer life but the same flaw still exists and should be understood. The heim will offer a stronger load capacity (or at least has the potential to) but service life and street manners will suffer over time. Im very curious in what you have said about how his were designed. You make it sound as though he actually designed and had them manufactured. The purchase volume that it would take to make that happen makes that sound a little fishy. Not calling him or you liar, just something thats intriguing. From the pictures, it does however appear that he is using relatively high quality heims either way. All in all, as long as you are pleased with the results, thats what matters. Just keep an eye on things so you can address them before its a major problem. I would still highly suggest that dual stabilizer to save a ton of high dollar components from accelerated wear, even though your convinced its not needed. [/QUOTE]
