I bought all mine from Currie Enterprises in USA.
They are all imperial sizes so finding something to fit straight into jimny arms won't be easy.

You'd only want to install them at the chassis end where they won't make any difference to anything. If you install them at the axle end, you won't have any articulation.

I don't need to have done it to know there is no point. Fitting them at the axle end will increase bind, bracket breakage and axle housing twist, along with substantially reducing articulation.

Fitting them at the chassis end won't improve articulation or roll stiffness and will increase road harshness and vibration transmitted into the car.

I am aware suzuki recommend fitting stiffer bushes at the chassis end to reduce death wobble, but a jonny joint won't be required to do that.

Add in the maintenance required on such a small joint in a location where it's getting blasted by road grime constantly.... it's an advantage how?
