QA1's are prob the best, but are HUGE $$$$

check ruffstuff. They have awesome prices and hold up to abuse.

oh and 7/8" is probably fine for the lowers. you could use 3/4" for the uppers.

I overbulid things and have 1 1/4" lowers and 7/8" uppers.

I have rough stuff 3/4 x 3/4 on a Toyota truggy. And I beat the crap out of it and they have held up. Rough stuff is good stuff.

The guy above ^(TTH)^ is pretty hard on rigs too!

QA1's are bottom of the barrel in my opinion, I run them only when I have too. Otherwise I buy them (don't know the brand) from McMaster Carr.

His reasoning behind putting the part that is more susceptible to wear down where it's going to deal with more mud/grit/water?
