I just recently started searching 3 links and can't really find much info about angles
And all of that. I have heard keep them as parallel as possible. I have also heard that a lot of people make the upper arm a little longer than lowers.

From my research on pirate I have seen that balistic fab 2.63 joints on 7/8 thread 9/16 bolt is a decent start. I want a locg build and was thinking 3" on 33 tires with 3 link would be nice for me.

Still researching though.

flat links generally work better. there are a lot of factors involved however. if you are truly serious about building a linked suspension go out to your rig take some measurements and plug them into a link calculator and play around seeing how link placement affects things.

its good to ask questions, read and get advice, so all of you who know how to do these types of things were born with the know how to do it? you asked questions or worked with someone who knew and asked questions. or read about it
