3/4" heim joints are fine for a fullsize truck. 5/8" would probably last for years, but we go with the 3/4" to allow for kids doing burnouts, driving aggressively, etc.We have been selling this kit for a few years now, and have had very few problems with it. If you're laying completely, of course you'll still need to raise your gas tank, as this kit doesn't have anything that accounts for tank location.Here's a couple of specs for you: The diff. bracket is 1/4" thick steel, and uses all of the diff cover bolts to hold in place. The lower bars attach to the factory spring hangers, then to pads that are u-bolted to the axle with flip brackets for pinion location. The upper bars attach to the diff bracket, then travel back (yes, this is a reverse-triangulated kit) to a crossmember that bolts to the frame with two 1/4" steel brackets that wrap around the framerails.Being reverse triangulated, this kit is optimized for over-the-axle bags with 20" wheels. Going with 22's will cause some pinion angle shift at full drop because of the kit's geometry.Good luck with your truck, and I hope this helps you make a decision either way!

will a 5/8" heim joints bolt right into these bars for reassurance?
