Phil:

To answer--the adjusters are easy and an alignment is also easy---I set them for 3 degrees positive caster--the max the adjusters will let me.


The FTS kit comes with a stock diameter front drive shaft using a CV joint just like Fabtech.

The BulletProof kit does not--their belief is that you can build them locally for the same price or cheaper since there is no mark up-----on their 12 inch kit both front and rear driveshafts need to be lengthened so I do have them built locally--beefed up, balanced, and use better U joints--I use a CV joint in front. I have a guy who builds them for all types of race cars and he is a pain in the ass as a person but a real pro.

When I have drivshafts made, I increase the front diameter since the extra cost of the diameter is minimal--it is the assembly, balancing, and U joints that cost--the shaft size is nil.

On heim joints--there are various grades available and thet are usually not used on the street since they do wear out fairly quickly--the cheaper the faster.
