we can build you a true 4 link like my 3 link just one extra arm, but it's not cheap to do LOL it's sad that just my arms alone without the joints are 80 buck a piece. then you add joints and a crossmember and axle mounts then you start to wonder if it's worth it HA HA

with yours being a DD still i'd go with the TnT upgrade Y link kit. it works great and is hi clearance, plus you can't go wrong with anything rob, bob and the crew can build


plus it's cheaper than what you can build one for

Yeah it was wierd pulling up to an obstacle that is a cakewalk for my rig and having his get stuck before he even gets on it. But in its defense it does have bald tires and swaybars hooked up

Rusty's is a radius arm with 4 attaching points, which will bind as the arms fight each other to twist, one will pull in and down the other out and up and pivot separately. Some have even had them twist the tubes out of the diff with it (I have heard lol)

IRO is a radius arm setup with 3 attaching points, which will make the pinion pivot with the drivers side arm and caster is dependent on the drivers arm. The pass side has one arm which will allow the axle to pivot on it without binding like the 4 arm radius setup.

Neither is a 4link or a 3 link, both a radius arm setup, and are plagued with unloading, and odd pinion angles. Not always a big deal or noticeable with every setup, But something to be aware of.

3 link is the way to go if you have the option IMO.

So google works wonders I found a three link way diff then what I've been looking at :-) but I think for my needs radius arms are the route in your opinion IRO VS RUSTYS ?
