I can't see the UE forums. I've never gotten confirmation to join the forum after several attempts to register...quite frustrating.

I have yet to see anyone here with problems with the MIP 1665's. I'll head over there and take a look though.

Personally, I'd go all out and get the RD Racing or Tekno knuckles, with siders and 8mm axles. That'll allow you to run most any 17mm hub, and you'll have beafy 8mm axles, but I don't know your setup, so you might not even be able to go with the 3.3 knuckles or the sliders.

I currently have UE diffs, UE 6mm CVD's, Flextek A-Arms and Integy AL knuckles. I'd really rather not go to sliders, but I guess that is a possibility. Any idea if I'd need any other parts besides the Tekno knuckle kits for front, rear and some stock sliders? If that's all it would take, that might be a good alternative since it's inexpensive and gets me to where I want to be with the hubs/wheel nuts.
