I agree. Flex is over rated anyhow.
If the upper link and mounts are built correctly then you'll have absolutely no problem with a 3 link on a Dana 60. I'd build a 3 link for a Rockwell if I had a rockwell... but I don't.

Mud needs to cease to exist.
I know the guys in that area don't have anything else to wheel on but why do I see people cut so many corners simply because "It's just a mud truck."
We have a mud bog in out area. 9 out of 10 of the trucks there are retared. They go out and buy some 80s model Ford truck, throw some Cheezy lift on it, and throw some 60" tractor tires on a set of stock geared axles and call it good.
Then they take it thru the hole. The truck isn't locked, under geared and underpowered and they get stuck 30 feet in.
I could have done that with my bicycle!
I just don't understand it.

Would you be interested in Hyro assist for under $150?
