I appreciate all of the feedback and has me thinking heavily!

the serious off road is looking pretty damn tempting

how do people feel about link vs radius
what are the major pros/cons radius vs link

ah the age old debate. 3 link is better because it allows your caster to remain the same during droop where a radius will force the face of your D30 down with it. radius arms unload in extreme off camber situations where 3 links do not. radius arms are cheaper for the most part and a 3 link will probably cost you
will you ever notice the caster change or binding or unloading? probably not. you've got to really be getting yourself into some hairy spots for it to be an issue


IMO I just don't see the point in running a 3 link on a D30. I guess if you know what you're doing and feel like setting it up then of course it's better. but I'd rather just slap on some radius arms and go party. I don't exacly know what the world of bolt on has for 3 links right now or how easy the install is, but I know they cost more than $750. I'll pass




I've ran both a 3 link and radius arms. both are great, 3 link works better
