Don't forget Rock Krawler long arms (short arms too).
The 4-link was just on sale for $760 delivered, from 4wd.com (requires welding new bracket on upper axle).
The 3-link is cheaper.
Superior company and products. And the best thing is, it's not a radius arm or Y-link!

If your RC does well over time, I think I may spring for that one day.
One of the main reasons why I went with the Rough County upgrade kit is because it does have a lifetime warranty and all of the joints are fully rebuildable.

Frank sells a great LA upgrade kit from Serious, and you know you wouldn't regret Clayton. RC's customer service is spotty, too.

A good consideration for sure. I've also been informed that you can replace them with Currie JJ's if one is so inclined. I've heard mostly good things about RC's customer service. The one time I contacted them about needing a replacement heim for their trac-bar, they sent me one out no questions asked and I had it in 3 days.

This is getting off topic. But I second the RK long arm setup.

The problem with others is the Y-Link setup is it mimics Radius Arms.
I'm going with the RK 3-Link / Fabbing my own when the time comes.
Haven't had any issues on my shorties as of yet, to warrant the expense.

This. If I went with a off the shelf setup it would probably be RK's. But again, no death wobble on my SA's and they perform well so not needed just yet. I have a strong feeling thats going to change here soon though. Lol

Sideways!!
