Borgeson Joint or Borgeson Kit?

[West Oz Binder]

I want to improve the steering on my '78 terra. Future plan is to add a 2" body lift. Do I just install a borgeson joint or should I get the borgeson kit? What are the comparative advantages/disadvantages of each?

Cheers

Two reason why I would suggest the kit over the single joint. First when performing either a 2" or 3" body lift you will need the extra shaft length in between the two joints. Second reason is somewhere around 1975 IH got rid of the serviceable, better quality upper ujoint and went to a somewhat cheesy, stamped steel ujoint. We find these later ones are usually worn out or frozen/rusted up due to not being a serviceable part.
