Stillwater Outfitters XJ

I want to move to a long arm setup in the next month or so but i can not decide between the T&T Customs Y-Link and the BDS 4 Link set up.
The BDS kit comes with a heavy duty crossmember, powercoated,it has poly bushings in one end of the arms.I can get this kit for $800
T&T has a Heavy duty cross member with a T-Case skid, comes bare steel, if i were to break a lower arm or rip it off could not drive home. $850 for this one

So i need some help any input would be nice
Thanks

How much can you get the T&T y arm setup for? BDS is good stuff, made near me in Michigan. I've talked to them before and they are great to talk to. You otta' give them a call. Give T&T a call too and gauge their customer service. Let us know what you find.
In my mind the T&T y-arm setup constrains the axel too much. There has to be a small degree of rotational action as the suspension moves up and down With the y-arms the axel can't do that.
I would also consider the Rock Krawler 3 arm? Or 4 arm?
A search will bring those up. Try naxja.com and search there too. Most people on this site don't venture into the high end like you are doing... Some do... but not many. You most likely can't loose with any of the high end lifts you have mentioned.
Maybe you could post a few pics once you decide...

those are two VERY different setups

what made you settle on those 2?

do some research before you jump into this.

radius arms act differently from 4 links while out on the trails

I would go with the three link. It puts less stress on the uniframe.

try looking into rusty's 4 link setup. they $790 plus shipping. arms are BEEFY.. no weak stuff here, they come adj. as well. thats a plus.

i settled on this setup because i like the skid on the y link and on the BDS because norm price is over 1K but i can get it from a local shop for $800 ish

while that may be true on paper. in the real world you will never notice this or have any issues related to this
