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.

Default Adding bigger lift

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

It doesn't matter what lift you're running, 6 inches of lift on short arms is silly. You NEED either long arms or drop brackets.

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.

Thanks for the input! Would you run Clayton purely for the crossmember?

Yeah...

I mean, I have had no issues with my RK kit. I just wish it had a x-member.

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.
