im going to be lazy and ask if any of you with long arms are running the rock krawler kit? what side does your top arm of the three link go to and how does it mount? a link would be kick ***. i bought the kit used and it doesnt have any of the mounting brackets i have the bottoms mounted but im a little stuck on the top mount thanks a bunch 
EDIT:I think tristens pic is the newer kit
the Older ones IIRC were the way I mentioned
EDIT: Do not listen to my weird thought's I might really be wrong

I'm not running that kit but the upper link should go on the driver's side but I think you need the part that weld's on the old bushing mount to be able to accerpt the krawler joint... The flex joint's are on the axle side and the rubber is frame side to keep the arms from twisting. Hope that kinda helps john

well that sucks maybe I have these two little washer looking deals with for bolts that hold them together any idea if that would be the pieces your talking about for the axle a.t.r.( I need to get out and learn some of your names mine is kc by the way)

My name is Tom N nice to meet you. My best answer is to Post a pic for Zach R to look at when he comes back on, like I said I might be morphing ideas in my head lol But I swear the new kit's look different to my memory.

KC does this sound familiar?

Rock Krawler's New X Factor are based on the same basic principals the old Gen I Systems were based on. How many points does it take to constrain a plane? The correct answer is 3. If a plane is constrained by any more than 3 points you have natural binding. Natural binding prevents flex and contributes to harshness of ride. With our 3 point or effective 3 point principals we have done what was once thought to be impossible; combining awesome highway ride quality and handling with unbeatable off road performance.
Front End: The front end has three long arms pointing straight forward. The two lower control arms are below the axle and the front upper torque arm is above the axle. These members control front axle torque under braking and acceleration. All of this is done with no wear or bind at any joint. The front upper torque arm attaches to the axle housing where the original front upper control arm did. We give you the components to make the original cast upper mount into a greasable/serviceable spherical joint so there is no binding at that location. Then the front upper torque arm attaches to new brackets that bolt to the frame through another spherical joint. The new lower long arms attach to the frame via spherical joints through our new long arm brackets. The new lower long arms attach to the axle to the frame via spherical joints to the OEM axle brackets. All that means is no bind and no wear. The front end is controlled laterally via our track bar. All track bar geometry has been worked out to provide bump steer free operation. We switched to the X Factor design from our original GEN I design for ease of assembly.
