Phil,
Are these things really worth adding, any noticable difference, worth the money, etc.?

Tom, I reinforced my stock trailing arms. It cost $6 or $7 bucks and took about an hour. I used 3/8 or 1/4 (I can't remember now) steel angle and welded them into the stock arm at an angle. It was quick and easy and they are tough as nails. They also provide a great surface to slide on. In the picture it"s kinda hard to see what I did, but hopefully with the description it will make sense.

Phil, any update on these new ones you tried? I was looking at Hotchkis, but it appears their zerk can get torn off when off road.

I like em! However I think If I were using my H2 offroad I would go with "KEVIN" (no harm intended) I think the possibility of rocks hitting the trailing arms might be a consideration? not to mention the cost savings... But I bought mine for the show circuit, since I use a Landcruiser for offroading.

I just bought a pair of SMA ones on ebay. They are chrome, which I am not crazy about. I will have them done with Line-x soon after Hunting season knocks the chrome off.

Here they are if NE1 wants them. You might be able to turn them over so zerk is on top and use 90% grease fitting to reach them. I do not have my rig here to check this though, as Sewell seems to like my rig more than me!

I like KevinB's idea of welding an angle on the trailing arm, so you now have a nice slider, and much more strength to boot!.

This is the Land Cruiser that you use for off roading?
