Lol haven't had my links welded on in a month. Won't bother with it cause I'm putting in a new axle.

Do they need to be extended though?

I have been riding on 5" for about 3-4 months. Probably contributing to my stiff ride

Just throwing this out there if your lifted you have stiffer front shocks so it won't roll as bad

Hey... guess what.


BAJA CLAWS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

I have extended links that I just need to weld on but I drive it so little it wasn't too important and I just bought a new axle last night.

I have discos, and I almost always forget to reconnect them, and I can't tell a difference with the disconnected unless I'm driving like a bat out of hell.

I don't have them handy, but they're the same shape as the stock ones but the vertical part is a little longer making it taller. I may have an extra set laying around somewhere.

Did you just weld the stock ones inside a tube? And are they discos?

Hey guys,

So I'm gonna lift my Jeep 3" and run 33s. I know that I want RK 3" coils and their bomb-proof track bar, and Bilsteins for 3.5"-4.5" lift. I'm curious as to what leaves I should run, as RK only has AALs and 3" shackles. I know I want a slightly larger shackle because the stock one is tiny as hell, but what leaves should I get? I was thinking either the OME 2" MD leaves or the Upcountry leaves, both with a longer shackle. Any other ideas?

TJ
