Kevo I would just do the flanges and be done with it. I wouldn't mess with lockouts.

What has to be done with the lower balljoint nut?

Absolutely, I already run the stock wagoneer 19 spline versions. If going to a 30 spline increased the strength as they seem to break right behind the flange. I am so tired of breaking shafts of all different manufactures. I also had a thought about the lower ball joint...

The downside to the D30 stuff is high steer, although Reid makes some nice knuckles that use D44 high steer, spindles, hubs, brakes.....but how much $$$$$$$$$ are these...

I will definitely take a look at the stops but I can tell you guys that every time a u-joint failed, I was going straight . Perhaps I damaged them in a turn or something and they let go afterward , strange things happen when...

are there warn 30 spline lockout hubs that will fit these also? thanks!

These are done with the testing phase!!!! They are being manufactured as we speak! Orders will be going out within the next two weeks, first come first serve on the first batch... they are hot! There have been a lot of requests for these. Thanks to our awesome testers out there! Again we are offering the 30 spline with a slug set. We are not offering the 19 spline.
