Ditto. I use them and when they wear out...they are free.

I am in the same position as the OP, has anyone used Fabtech or Rareparts? Any feedback on them?
I want to upgrade from the stock and definitely want something heavy duty.

Both brands have gone through various "generations" and some had issues and some did not. That was why I went with the Xtreme Duty tie rods from dmaxstore.com. All the other parts I went with MOOG heavy duty.

The Kryptonite components from Dmax store have been pretty good for me. I've had the hubs and tie rods for years with no problems. Just bought the Kryptonite upper and lower ball joints and installing them tomorrow. They all come with a lifetime no questions warranty. I'm pretty sure last time I replaced the ball joints they were Moog(could be wrong, probably am) But they didn't last very long. I'm pretty rough on my H2 and 40" tires don't help. So pretty much everything I replace on it is high quality. It saves me money in the long run. The only OEM parts I buy are CV axles. They're only around $70 at pretty much any parts store and have a lifetime warranty. I keep a spare pair for hardcore off roading. Beats paying over a grand each for the high end ones.
