Yes. Seriously... why do you need adjustable rear links ? Every time I see people run adjustable links they habe few threads adjusted. Big deal ? Again, it's my personal opinion. I don't need to mess with rear axle. Not to mention when you get a wheel alignment the rear is not adjustable aka fixed.

They look shitty compared to the $400 eBay set of 5 links that have HEIMS on one end on every link!
Now those will add flex for sure

Has anyone actually tried the Rokmen Pro Series? I'm curious if there's truly an advantage to the jointed-end vs. a bushing and also if being able to lengthen a tiny bit offers a notable benefit as well (does pinion angle really change that much?).

2.5 years later & they still haven't fixed the description.
After just 2mo of city driving while breaking in my 3in Dobinsons IMS lift, these Rokmen PRO bushings already started failing at the adjustable end. I'm running a set of PCK correction brackets as well, not impressed with the durability of these"lifetime" bushings.
It appears that the adjustable end is a modified 2.5in narrow Johnny Joint. Would anybody be able to confirm the ball and thread specs? It looks like Rokmen are out of business now.
From my limited measurements without removing the arm and cross referencing online I came up with the following potential replacement specs:
- ball: 2.585 IN. X .562 IN. HOLE (14mm)
- shank thread: 1 1/4 IN.-12 RH THREAD
However the complete assembly only seems to come in the slightly wider:
- 2.625 IN. X .562 IN. BALL
Any help in sourcing an equivalent adjustable end joint replacement would be much appreciated. I don't want to spend $200 CAD and wait a month for replacements that may not end up quite working out.

Thank you for responding, hey I'm rocking the TrakMotive Xtended Travel CV Axles too! I love the specs on your rig.
However SPCs are not an option that's on the table right now. It would cost me more $ to discard what is otherwise still a brand new set of adjustable arms.
I am also not sold on SPC's offerings, for example I opted to go with JBA uppers and the overpriced OEM Toyota camber bolts for piece of mind. Lukilly I managed to squeeze those bolts out of the dealership with a 10% off discount.
If anyone happens to still have a set of Rokmen PRO laying around, please let me know what those two measurements are (shank thread type and ball length). Otherwise I'll finally have time to pull one of my arms off in 3 weeks and then finally place an order after that.

[MENTION=774801]cata22[/MENTION], I had Rokmen (older) pro adjustable arms for years. After putting together the list of parts and tools needed to rebuild them, I bit the bullet and just went with all new upper and lower links.
I went with OPT Offroad Links
They utilize custom Johnny Joints sized specifically for the 3rd gen. Can't got wrong.
