Here's what I found:

Kryptonite (I don't believe require pressing in the bushings): Boxed
Zone Offroad: Boxed
Cognito: Boxed or Tubular
Freedom Offroad (cheapest I've found): Tubular

That's a start and I think the main popular ones minus Freedom Offroad, I think those are more of a universal fit for other vehicles as well.

Ive been looking as well. My selection is goi g to be very limited as our dollar is crap and the shipping is 3x the price of the part.

I have always been a fan of the Kryptonite arms, the boxed ones look really good. I don't care much for the tubular and I can't imagine those are nearly as strong as boxed. However, the low price of the Freedom Offroad is tempting. Have you found any others that peaked your interest?

I was looking at the CARiD site and there were no pictures of the freedom off road. There were some tubular ones from Joes racing with the bolt in joint and they were cheap. I agree again. I like the boxed.
