I have Ballistic 3.0" joints for my single UCA, no problems from them.

I HAD Ballistic 2.63" joints(4 of them) for my LCAs... they all wore out with 1000 miles of STREET driving. They are adjustable... and you WILL need to adjust them... constantly. Then when they can't be tightened any more you'll be spending another $20 per joint to replace the races. Screw that.

I have 1.25" Ruff Stuff heims for my lowers now... they are all just fine over 1500 miles and a few wheeling trips later beating on it.

The only rebuildable joint I would consider using would be Johnny Joints, because they are proven, and are made of materials that don't wear out super fast. The Ballistics blow ass because they "washer" that holes the guts in flexes and allows the races to be loaded unevently, from what I gather.
