Just some constructive criticism. I would like to see pics of the inside. Looks like a decent product.

I'll get more pictures up soon. We will box the lower link mounts in. We also will have optional plates to allow the cross member to tie into the side of the unibody

Even in a lower COG build a properly setup suspension can flex really well. 5" of lift, 35s, fox 2.0 remote resis 13" travel fully extended up front.

Question-
Can you make a 3 link for a 3-3.5" lift that doesn't involve stretching the front 1-1.5" forward?

I know the flex won't be the same without extra lift but I'd like to have the articulation of a 3-link with that size of lift...

Ever get a shipping price? I'm in the market for a 3 link that works on ~3" lift or so.

Yes, we can simply build the kit with slightly shorter links to prevent the stretch that comes with the default configuration of the kit.

The kit is on the website and the shipping options set for it should be accurate. If you are ready to pull the trigger add it to your cart and then it will calculate the UPS ground shipping rate for you.



Again, thanks for all the support guys!

Now i wish i would've waited to order long arms.. Wanted true 3 link and heard the other guys' customer service wasn't up to par. Even tried contacting them about ordering and got no response so i went with iron rock's kit. Your kit looks great, would've definitely been a customer

Nice. Could you do the lowers axle side with the Currie joints also?
3/8" possible?

We have RK 3 link on one XJ and it works very well. But they no longer make this item.
Other XJ has TNT long Y arms. On this XJ we want to change it over to 3 link. I also like the ability to add 1-1.5" to front, mini-stretch.

That is something we could add as a special option, but there would be an additional cost with that.

Do you have pictures of the unibody tie-in brackets yet?
