Yeah, radius arms/y-link is the easiest setup to build. Seth is running them, dsach is running them, 1Ton is ruinning them, and my current xj has them.
I will be building my 4-link soon to replace my y-link. I dont like the way y-links handle on or offroad. Their binding characteristics cause premature bushing failure also.
Dont let me scare you away from building one, as these are just MY opinions.
I did a test once with Digger. Right after I installed his y-link, I had him take his jeep for a drive around the block, then my old red exoed XJ(it had 4-link). He came back amazed at how good 4-link felt compared to the y-link. Less unloading, less body roll, and way more stable.
Going from short arms to a y-link will still be a night and day difference in the rideand flex, but going from y-link to 4-link is where I was most impressed.
