Anyone running either the RK Triple Threat or X Factor front setup? Im gonna piece together my suspension lift and what i like about either of those 2 set ups is its a 3 or 4 link, instead of a radius arm setup like most kits. Im trying to steer away from the radius setup due to spring unloading but at the same time, im only gonna be at around 4" to 5" tops of lift so i want some sick down travel that a short arm wont bring..

I have heard/seen many good things about the 3 link set up! not on the road, on the trail got talking up a storm with a guy who was running the set up! he had not one bad remark!


and you can get some sick down travel out of short arms. I maxed out my shocks, i have more travel waiting:

What brand springs and control arms are you running? I have seen some sick down travel from short arms before with drop brackets. My 2nd option of front kit is RE springs, control arms and drop bracket..

Rusty's coils/shocks, RE super flex adjustable upper and lowers with no drop brackets.

i got a RTI score of 1158 on a 20* ramp and 792 on a 30* ramp. with my current set up i can get my tire 40" off the ground with out the other 3 lifting.

OMG, That is monster flex with a short arm lift. That's as much as I got with my Blazer. Congratulations, that is the best I've ever heard of anyone getting with short arms. Hell, ******* Grand Cherokee with all he did to it only gets 920.
