Default Pro steer ball joints and RCV shafts??

Getting ready to order my PR44. I have heard the dynatrac pro steer ball joints may interfer with the RCV axle shafts. Is this true and if so has it been fixed?

You wont have annual issues at all they work great together. We have pro rock 44's in stock with approx a 72 hour turn around

I've run this setup for over a month (including 2 runs on the Rubicon) with no issues. Do it and get them from Dave at Northridge4x4, and you will be VERY happy:

What? Are you working for my wife?! Seriously, I did RCV axles, ProSteer balljoints, Reid racing knuckles, and axle sleeves at the same time and it was a lot, but Northridge4x4 has the best prices so check them out.

It is a sweet setup! I am getting tired of U-Joints!

I've been talking to RCV about their axles because I am also adding a Spyntec hub conversion kit which uses a chevy outer shaft. Guys at RCV will custom make me an outer shaft that will work with the hub kit at no extra charge. Spyntec will also sell me the hub kit without their outer shaft at a cheaper price too. Good group of guys to work with.

The only time we've seen issues with our ball joints and RCVs has been with stock housings. As we're all now well aware, these housing ends flex and can cause the boot to contact the ball joint.
