Sure, a couple companies offer radius arm setups in there kits. But performance is terrible compared to a correctly designed 4 link. And why the hell anybody would want a track bar in the back is beyond me.

The binding, axle hop, and track bar are reasons enough I would never consider a radius arm in the back.

Do some research on what GOOD geometry is, before you screw up and make your jeep less capable off-road.

Oh look mommy DOUCHEBAGS! as far as working stages on a jeep lift YES I support lift blocks for those wanting to get into wheelin would you give a 16 year old a corvette for his first car not knowing much about it? I sure HOPE not! I never said that blocks offer superior performance but most folks wanna get larger tires asap and in order to do that MOST folks wouldnt drop the huge dime on new leaves and coils now had I known when I first started that I could make a bastard pack for less money and get better performance then I definitely would have gone that route first.
so Im guessing most of you folks are the type who buys a rig already built and doesnt put in the wrench time... and for the PVC comment... what do you think your factory setup is made from...PVC! what difference does it make whether its originally designed for something else? ugh everyones a critic huh!?!? just an FYI none of my stages gave me any problems other than restricted abuse thats why I kept building more and moving on. that all being said please carry on to flame me but honestly your wasting your life and your time cause I wouldnt do ANYTHING different as far as my build.
joe I wish the best for you and your jeep your off to a normal start keep up the good work!

Your mother reads this forum? That's pretty cool.

OUT of CURIOSITY, which PART of THE stock SUSPENSION is MADE from PVC?

Also, I'd like to add that I bought my Jeep RTR from Wal-Mart.

Blocks promote axle wrap, which promotes axle brakeage.

Blocks don't belong on a jeep that gets wheeled, period. Building a bastard pack is pretty damn cheap and a much better route.

Um, well...when youre wrong youre wrong.

and for the PVC comment... what do you think your factory setup is made from...PVC! what difference does it make whether its originally designed for something else? ugh everyones a critic huh!?!?
Must be something I missed here...

just an FYI none of my stages gave me any problems other than restricted abuse thats why I kept building more and moving on. that all being said please carry on to flame me but honestly your wasting your life and your time cause I wouldnt do ANYTHING different as far as my build.

He completely lost me with the PVC thing.

He's making an awesome first impression, I think.

I bet we'd get along just fine.
