Just like to point out that its a lovely mid 70's and sunny down here in Sand Hollow. We just got done with our oening run of Smurfette's trail in 11 mins. If your tired of the weather and want to get away, we will be here till sunday. We got a group site and it's $15 a night for anyone that wants to join.

That reminds me, Clayton has a 3 link available now. I would have totally bought one if it was available when I was in the market. All y-links and non-triangulated 4 links bind during flex while the 3 link has very little. Still, the only issue the radius arm binding has caused me is UCA bushings stretching out quick. I have replaced them once, and they were stretched again within a couple of wheeling trips. It doesn't cause me any trouble, though. It is such a simple set up, that minor inconvenience is easy to justify. Also, with a 3-link you would be running all solid joints that could make a noisier/rougher ride...could.

i didnt know they had a 3-link out yet, ya the solid joints make a big difference as far as quietness and street ability but its not to bad in mine. my ride is really smooth and soft (probably because of my blown shocks up front )

well i went and bought balljoints today, decided to buy them from autozone for 2 reasons. First they have a lifetime warranty, which after going through a new set in 4 months with no warranty i decided this was a very good idea. Alot of online ones only have 1 yr or no warranty at all. Second i live 3 blocks away from autozone so should i have any problems i can go down there directly and talk to them, no messing with online stuff.
i think im just gonna use hockey pucks for my bumpstops for now, since im replacin the rear axle next week i figure why go through the hassle of making nice ones on the current one
