Love the jeep! Been following along on IG and finally took the time to read the whole thread. Since you had the RC long arms before the cavfab, did the holes drilled in the uni-body for the tie ins from the RC kit line up well with the cavfab kit? I'm looking at ditching the RC long arms for the cavfab alpha but I'm concerned about drilling more holes in the uni-body.

CavFab alpha 3 link side profile. Way more high clearance than the previous kit:

That thing is going to look even more awesome with the new wheels! Are you the first one on here to install the cavfab alpha 3 link? I know there are a few others waiting around to get theirs. Pretty sure it was the same kit.

That right there is unfair. Sorry lack I know you are waiting on yours. I just get to sit back and watch all the test victims. After everyone gives the ok, and I know everyone will, then I order mine haha.

I have no doubts or worries about cav fabs quality. After receiving their steering and seeing their original 3-link, I know it will be worth the wait.

Great choice on wheels! I was gonna go that exact route myself, but decided to save a little bit of coin.

Whats in that long UPS box next to the wheels? Anything else exciting?
