I drive mine mostly street (actually street only). I have the HooHaa and like Anthony once said it is VERY different than an OEM Centerlink. I wouldn’t compare it to the Calmini/SLR (there was actually a third but the name eludes me) in the fact that those systems are turn-key (CenterLink, Beefed out IA and sometimes Pitman arm.) Those guys running that HW without a doubt need/require the Bandit Bushings.
While at Dave's one weekend we threw on a new Beck-Arnly IA and noticed that Daves bushings were too big for it. Small IA! I threw it on anyway and ran with that with a HooHaa for two years (road and light wheeling). Performed fine. Recently I bought a DuraLast and mounted to my HooHaa.
Little side note on HooHaa. Ran for 73K miles. All highway on a lifted truck. No issues with link. Issues with mounting HW. I think that longer 5/8 bolts are needed. I am on my third set of bolts. I recently switched to 3 1/2 vice 2 1/2 inch bolts to get a longer shank (part between head and thread). I noticed that the threaded portion that goes through the IA and Pitman Arm was wearing out thus causing "slop" in my steering. Longer shanks prevent this!
Bottom line: Bandit Bushings are proven and on many trucks. Im not saying this because Dave is a friend I am merely stating fact. The Duralast is warranted for life but concerns me because now there is no IA Brace (acts like a miniature skid plate) and the IA seems to hang out there begging for a rock. If I go wheeling again I will certainly pack the old Beck-Arnly and IA Brace just in case the Duralast gets clipped.
