Any one have a picture of how they attached the upper link to the drivers side mount in a 3 link application?
I'm going to build one. (to broke to buy a kit!)
I was wonder what you all did?

the factory mount is cast into the housing and is plenty strong. what isnt strong in the bolt diameter.
currie makes a replacement joint that fits in there and uses a larger bolt. Rock krawler as well.

Well from the threads on naxja I read people seem to want to go to the other side for the 3 link. Passenger side does make more sense now that I think about it.

I run mine on the drivers side. (RK 3 link)
The RK joint for this application is actually pretty nifty.
OP, if you're dead set on using the passenger side you're going to want to seriously beef up that mount.

I'm not dead set on any thing at all yet.
All I know is it will be a mid arm 3 link.
Just I think that after beefing up that Joint it will be less engineering and simpler for me to do because their is more room.

Eff that. Its less work just to chop it off and put a nice, strong link tower in. Doing anything to that stock mount is just turd polishing.Originally Posted by lowrange2

Everyone likes a little polished turd every now and then.

With the passenger side having the upper link will their be enough support on the drivers side?

Enough support for what? Everything you need to know has been beaten to death on multiple forums, you can search for everything you need to know.
At least 2 people that have responded here have built mid-arm 3 links and have build threads. Some even in their sig with a nice link to them.
Check them out if you seriously plan to build a 3-link.
