You're going to have so many spam txts it's not even funny.
I'd sure suggest PMing him the number.
Just think. What if I were a mean guy and made a craigslist ad with your number.
"Free washer and dryer - Call 815-779-****"
I promise you'd get 50 calls in less than an hour.

Was looking to go from a 4.5in lift to a 6.5in lift i was just wondering what i need to change or add to do so
Already have ,adjustable track bar, and steering stabilizer, on a 4.5in lift with new leaf springs NOT add-a-leaf , Everything is Rough Country and came straight from there website brand new.
I know i need a long arm kit , and a slip-yoke eliminator is there anything else i need before i add the 2 inches?
Thanks ~ Chaz

x2 on this, you're severely limiting the performance of the lift if you're running 6" or more with short arms. Kinda like a dog at the end of his leash, the control arms aren't going to allow much more extension and you'll have virtually no articulation and it will upset your caster/camber angles.

Ok so I'm tired of short arms and I've got some money saved up. I've narrowed my choices down to the RK 3 link or the Clayton 3 link. I wheel my jeep almost every weekend but also dd it 5 days a week. Any personal experience with either of these kits would be great!

I've had the RK3 link for about 4 years now. I've not had one problem out of it.
The only CON I see with the RK kit is the lack of a cross member.
I've never ran Clayton's but my wheeling buddy has had the kit for as long as I've had my RK kit. He hasn't had problems and he has a cross member.
Even tho it's against what I actually run, I think I'd go with Clayton's if I had to do it again.
This is good stuff.
Certainly go with the actual 3-link. Not the radius arm junk.

I have been on Google like crazy all day searching for info on these kits. I'm suprised buy how many ppl said 3 links are bad for dd. Nobody ever had a reason as to why. My only guess would be that if the upper link failed you would be screwed.
