I have 70k miles on the heim jointed strut rods on my Challenger, and those are year round, all weather miles with no boots on the heims. Never had a wear issue with heims at the strut rods. At the UCA I don’t like heims and I have had wear issues there, but at the strut rods I’ve never had problems with them.

As for suspension travel, a street car needs more suspension travel than almost anything else you could do with it. Drag race, road race, autoX can all get away with less travel than on the street. Unless you’re going to off-road rally race, a street car needs the most suspension travel.

Glad to hear the heim joints hold up. I have gone to heim joints on my entire front end and am about to install nylon lower control arm bushings. I am after maximum weight transfer. IMHO stock rubber bushings restrict the movement of the suspension. My suspension never moved as freely as it does now strictly from removing the rubber. I guess on the street if you were to hit a big pothole you would need lots of travel. But I would think stock shocks and rubber would minimize the travel except in the extremes. But maybe not lol.
