building long arm- 3 link or radius arm?
ive searched the the threads and did my homework but still cant decide what would be best for me. my xj sits at 4-5" now, unsure because its a bastard lift, but still on stock short arms.
i cant get my caster set properly even with the lower arms extended all the way so im building a long arm, since ill be sitting around 6-7" with the new parts coming in.
i think im gonna go with 3 link, but what i cant decide is should i go with 3 full length arms all attached to the crossmember or have a radius arm setup.
i have 1.75" x 5/16" wall dom for the lowers, and 5/16" wall 1.5" for the upper.
keep in mind that this is my dd, so streetability is a priority. this thing flexes plenty already so im not looking to increase it, per se. plus im running 36s so i dont need to have it flex so much that im slicing my tires in the wells.
any advice on this will be helpful.
