ive heard lots of bad news bout the inner washer like u said, too.... Gues ill try them, and replace as needed with jjs
The 3.0s have a "solid nylatron" race... which is NOW offered on the 2.63" joints... the 2.63s have half-hollow honeycomb sort of patterned race.... or used to anyway... enough people have *****ed about them sucking balls that it appears they are only offered with the solid races now.

Even still, I don't know if they've fixed the washers flexing issue or not, I wasted $320 on their joints once already... and $60 on their bushings which are poorly designed too... never again will I buy their ****.

I have no problems with the 3.0s... but they just take up WAY too much damn space... I will run 1.25" hiems in their place when I have to replace them too.

This is the TJ in question:

Well I've beaten the heims senselessly much harder than I did with the Bull****astic 2.63" joints... and I've probably got about 2000 miles of street driving on the heims since the 2.63 joints were replaced... No play.
