The Ai-1201 is a press-fit kit with a same install method as a factory joint. It features a split-tapered bushing which expands as preload is added to the assembly ensuring a precise fit. The customer can trim the top flange of the bushing based on caster/camber needs, the kit includes instructions on setup and trimming.

Fitment: The Ai-1201 is the perfect solution to a stock truck that has a 2-3" lift/level kit when paired with the stock radius arms or leaf springs. Lifting the truck means caster is lost, but can be added back via the 1.5 degree bushing in our kit. Stock lower ball joints see less failures but are susceptible to “push out.” This happens when a shaft breaks and pushes the joint out the bottom of the knuckle. The lower system uses the same basic design as the upper, with a 1 piece stud with taper to match the tapered hole in the knuckle.
When swapping a donor axle into say, a Jeep you can run into a compromise between driveline angle and ideal caster. Have that pinion pointed directly at the transfer case output, but only have 4 degrees of caster? Use the 1.5 degree provided in the Ai-1201 to increase that caster to 5.5 degrees and you have the absolute best of both worlds- a perfect driveline angle, ideal caster, AND an unbreakable joint on top of it. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE IN THE INDUSTRY PROVIDES THIS LEVEL OF STRENGTH WITH ADJUSTABILITY.
