      so question for those running Spohn's Del Sphere's or something similar............noticing when the joints are tight they are fantastic but they tend to loosen up rather quickly such that the ends become so loose they rattle.........anyone have any suggestions or experience with them?

      thanks bro! still running the stockers but I know what you're talking about, there are times they have a very wooden feel to them..............I'll probably just upgrade the pads to a more aggressive compound and see how that does; and then go from there

      Are those Spohn's links Delrin or PTFE lined? I've always had good experience with any PTFE lined heims and swivel bearings. I'm actually modifying a set of our Hotchkis Swivel leaf spring bushings for the Silverado and using a PTFE lined spherical bearing.

      Did you ever figure out how to keep the joints tight? Also, what about the knocks and noises?

      I use a pin spanner wrench from Harbor Freight tools to adjust them, when they're tight they are fairly quiet, my problem is they don't stay tight and then get noisy. I'm guessing the Delrin bushings are the cause but I honestly have no idea. Trying to figure this out.

      The solution ended up being to remove them unfortunately. Sold the truck though and bought a travel trailer puller to replace it.
      With that said, just finished this drop project using rear 4-link relocation brackets = much better!
