Got my center section today as well. I have not seen a tracking number for the links yet though... that worries me

Got the confirmation for the crossmember last thursday and shipping confirmation of the links on tuesday of this week.

Not sure if all the crossmembers and links went out on the same days or not?

I got my crossmember today as well, must not have shipped the same day as I'm in AZ, should be a day sooner than you. No confirmation or tracking info for the links yet though. I can't install them yet anyways, so I'm in no rush to get them. Hopefully you guys get yours soon and get your rigs ready in time.

Eager to read some reviews after the first few get them out and put them through some abuse!

Will get the crossmember painted and installed (aside from tie in brackets) this weekend. Then links will go in along with my front axle that's currently sitting on my bench next weekend. Still have quite a few items to button up before it will be on the trail, but I have all the parts in the garage just need the time.

You can always shoot Dave an e-mail. He's pretty quick to respond that way.

I'll be posting a lot more pics in my build thread.

How do ya'll feel about having the fourth link mount even though you're going to be using it as a 3 link?

It is strange to see the passenger side upper link mount built in but it is good to have options. Mostly just a surprise.

I like it, but then again I'll probably also add the 4th link

It a welcome addition, more versatile and doesn't hurt anything being on top and out of the way.

I cut the passenger side upper link mount off my axle when I trussed it. So it's going to be staying a 3 link until I go to 1-tons.

Are you doing a passenger side upper? I cut my passenger side off the drivers side is cast in the housing

My mistake, I did cut the passenger side off, not the cast mount.

That cast mount would be a bear to cut off

Has anyone else attempted to put their crossmember in? Reason I say attempted is because the holes don't line up on mine. The hole we have to tap and the front hole of the stock cross member line up, but the back hole is probably about an 1/8" off if I had to guess.
