Ive seen some short arm setups flex very well, and I know that a 3-link flexes way better than a straight 4-link. So I started looking around at parts make a very flex 3-link short arm, and this is what I came up with...
I would run a Synergry upper control arm mount PN: PPM-3106 (the same one offered in their 3 link LA kit),



Make a custom upper control arm using Johnny joints at both ends, such as these from Polyperformance PN: CUR-9114

either make my own lower arms with johnny joints at both ends again or just simply buy a pre made set from Synergry PN: PPM-8153
then get a good adjustable track bar with mount and brace such as the Synergy unit PN: PPM-8233(track bar bracket/brace), and PN: PPM-8233-03(adjustable track bar)


I think it would be a good setup for anyone with 4''-5'' of lift or less, do not want the added hassle of converting to a La suspension, and want a lot of flex with minimal binding. I just had this idea, I'm not sure if I want to run it. But I just wanna see what other people think

 

As long as you use a beefy upper arm and beefy UCA mount then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

 

Looks like a great setup, try it out and give us feedback!

 

Mid-arm, yes, short arm.. whats the point?

 

How much lift on the short arms?

 

Short arm is still a short arm. You can only get so much flex outa em. There drop radius is just too small. If your gona go through this much trouble to make a 3 link short arm, why not just make a mid or long arm?

 

This was just an idea that popped in my head a few days ago. I Personally am going to end up with a 5.5''-6'' LA under my XJ, so I can fit 35s and have plenty of up travel for the whoops. I would do it to my rig if I was only running 3''-4'' of lift and wanted a very simple suspension that could still flex well.
