Rough Country doesn't have a 3-link.

Dave, out of curiosity, is upgrading the lower links to 1.25" heims and upper to a 7/8 heim an option? For the small cost difference it seems that would be a good option to offer.

Brian (shop owner) has the kit on an XJ with just 4" and the axle isn't pushed very far forward at all. We believe that with 3" you wont have any issues either .

What kind of install times are we looking at? I don't have a garage I can leave partially installed in overnight so I've gotta hit it hard in a day.

From everything posted it looks like something that could be tackled very easily on a weekend.

It's about that time for more jeep presents and I just stumbled across your 3 link.

Also, what's the lead time on these delicious 3 links?

We have found that with 2 people the install is normally around 6 hours or less. Definitely do-able in a day. Lead time is normally a week or less.

Do you have install instructions I could check out? Also would you be interested in cutting a deal with me to try them on a comanche and give you feedback.

We dont have any instructions on paper, as we feel the install is pretty straight forward, removing your existing control arms and factory x-member. Bolting our x-member up, and then bolting our long arms up is essentially the install in a nutshell.

Have you installed them with any frame stiffeners welded on? Any issues with that?

Thanks

Ok well do you have pics of them mounted? Really just looking to see if the crossmember will clear the floor brace the comanche has that the cherokee doesn't.
