Fitz is correct. Our originally designed 3 link has been discontinued...no real reason other than the fact that the stage 1 and the Alpha should cover everyones needs/wants.

Looking like late January to be honest. The holidays backed us up on normal orders for steering, etc and took our attention off these. With that being said we are going to get them out as fast as possible

i'm pretty interested but for someone who's looking to upgrade his short arms to a long arm setup with moderate wheeling in mind and mostly DD use, is the stage 1 a perfectly fine setup to run? i know, i know, i should buy the best and be done with it, but i'm interested in knowing. 140 bucks difference + 30$ shipping difference, converted to canadian $ that's over 200 bucks so I need to keep that in mind. and if i can upgrade to currie joints later on is the only difference the cross member part? and also it will fit a np242 right?

The currie joints would be better suited to DD use over heims IMO, they are a rubber based joint so it absorbs some of the vibration. Otherwise there is no reason the stage 1 kit wouldn't suit you. Unless of course you plan on dropping your trans crossmember on a semi-regular basis, thats where the alpha kit also shines.
I think either way you'd be happy.

thanks for the info guys, if curries are better for a DD i might aswell go with the alpha.
does it require any drilling / welding? the lca brackets must be cut right? anything else?

Edit: 1/2-13 tap, 25/32" drill bit and 17/32" drill bit. Should be all you need I believe.

I'm definitely interested in the Alpha kit. Just really want to see the final product over the cad drawing before I click the order button.
