Glad I read this first, I was just getting ready to order the "El Cheapo". I guess now I will save a little more to get the better one. BTW what are the difference's between the 2. Both pics look pretty much indentical. And what are you refering to when you say "4 bolt main". They both look like they are held in place with 4 bolts. Is the PSC that is pictured not what you actually get? Thanks.

Our design uses a nickel-plated rebuildable 4-bolt flange bearing with stainless steel hardware, integral sway bar drop mount and powdercoated steel... shipping is included within the continental United States.

Yep, I brought the rugged trails as new tires. Two reasons:

1. I only had to buy three. (used the spare)
2. I got 90,000 miles out of them.

These are the two units....I know which one I should have. I'm equipped with the wrong one! If I could turn back time I would spend the few extra bucks for "The Good Stuff"!!!


I refer to XLR8R's as the "4Bolt main" because its got the 4 bolts holding that bearing on place....Plus it sounds tough as heck and I have a marketing background.

1. How much PSI are you running front and rear?
2.Is yours a 4x4?
3.Do you feel any tire mush or low speed wander with em'?

Yea after XLR8R put his link in, I was able to see the difference. His is quite a bit different from both the DSS unit and PSC unit. I have never seen his before he put the link up.

His should be renamed...."The 4 Bolt main"!!! Still irked that I ended up with cheap autozone looking model instead of the bad-**** one XLR8R has.....

So I'm ordering all his good stuff for my front end...Note how his sway bar mounts are not only super trick urethane but also have those grease fittings on em'. Triiiiick.

the toyo m/t's are the most highway friendly m/t's i've ever run. very stiff sidewall, so great for towing and hauling, but definitely should run them at less than max psi, when empty. i would recommend them to anyone looking for a m/t, or even for those looking for an aggresive a/t.

I am running 65 psi in the front and 50 psi in the rear when I run empty. It is a 4x4 and I really don't feel any wondering at low speeds. I did have death wobble with this truck on the stock tires, but after 90,000 miles and no alignment and ball joints that were toast I don't think it was the tires. At least I hope not!

Wait 'til you guys see pix of the latest LazarLinks in a few days!

The front endlinks are mounted in double shear, and the rear endlinks have double heims.
