I just put on the MC option and for my use they work well. If I wanted an extreme off-roader with huge tires and lots of travel I would go with the JJ option.
Duroflex vs Johnny Joints...again
- Thread starter nondem
- Start date
I will argue that JJs are also the better option for the street for the reasons already listed.
Out of curiousity, what do you view as the difference as to why you chose them? Price is pretty close so I’m curious what motivates folks one way vs the other (especially when they recommend the other).
Before Greg gets mad, I have no vested interest in what you run or buy - I just like information.
Junk. Coming from someone who recently installed 16 new ends and has gone thru various centering yokes in the last couple of years

Quirks? What quirks, exactly? In close to 12 years with my JJs with zero issues or maintenance required I've yet to discover any quirks. They have been 100% free of any issues, problems or quirks.
Now you're starting to sift the rat turds out of coffee grounds.OK OK!!! Put the clubs away.The bigger picture is starting to focus. It would take a lot more than 4" of lift to reach the limits of either type of joint.
They allow enough that one should not in good conscience spend a fuckton of money duplicating it.How much axle wrap does factory control arms allow? Asking for a friend.
Thanks for the visual @mrblaine, not sure how I will muscle through my java in the AM...
As a comparison as someone that just serviced the 20 JJs on my rig: I just had to pop them off and grease them. Cost me only a little time and grease, but the only thing I could complain about was they got creaky (how I knew it was time). After opening them I found them to have no noticeable wear.
And again to preempt a Midwesterner, they do have pretty useless zerks. If you’ve ever brought a consumer product to market you’d understand why they are there, even if they’re useless.
I'm one of those here who have had both. If you're going to spend that much money, go with the Savvy double adjustable arms.
I am one of the many people on here that has had neither. IMHO the JJs are WAY better
Now defend your position
As far as the hex versus round arms. It’s really a non-issue…
I bought all 8 Savvy double-adjustable control arms. I installed them and adjusted my front and rear pinion angles by hand...
No tools needed as long as everything is prepped properly. I took off each JJ and added a more uniform coating of anti-seize on the threads…
Just assuring that the hex bar is truly not needed…

I've had both, currently have the MC joints. I would say in my limited experience JJ's are better. Will be replacing my ends with JJ when I stretch and do tons. FWIW.
Can you share reasons why? I’ve only run OEM and JJs, so have no frame of reference of MCs beyond wheeling buddies and the forum.
