After looking at the Swampers again last night, I think I'm going to stick with them. They're really still in pretty decent shape and... well, free.

Thanks for the link to the Cepeks - I don't know why those didn't show up in my search.

The other big thing I want to tackle before the run is refreshing my joints... all new ball joints, tierod, draglink, and trackbar ends... plus some more normal maintenance like packing bearings, changing diff fluid etc.

Luckily, the post I made on XOC listing the part numbers for the steering from way-back-when is still up!

I just have to figure out what size the heim joints are that came with the Calmini trackbar. I assume the D44 ball joints are standard.

Edit: There's also the radius arms, which have johnny joints on one end... I'm not sure how to check those to see if they are good - they're so beefy they probably won't budge if I yank on them.
