Lol.

Here we go.
a radius type setup is where the upper arms are attached to the lower arms..most companies sell kits that are radius arms. A 4 link (not a radius) has 4 separate arms..each which have their own frame mounts.
a 3 link is the same..just minus one upper link.

I run a 3 link

ok got it. So are there any lift companies that make bolt on 3/4 link setups? seems like that would be my best bet for a lift setup

Don't believe the haters, Radius Arm kits are an awesome upgrade.

This...and you're done.

For the record I don't hate on radius arms.
I just figure if your gonna spend the $ why not go 3/4 link.

I would say though if I was running an off the shelf radius arm kit i would run serious over others

ok so im stuck on these 2 kits, from what ive been looking at

http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...-NP231J-T-case

http://froehlichsuspension.3dcartsto...e-XJ_p_20.html

with the FTS it comes out as few more $$$, but I would get the SYE, the leafs and bilsteins, but is the crossover steering and 4 link worth it? if they are I don't mind spending the extra, but if not that ness. for wheelin every other weekend. then im not worried about it

If he buys the steering with the lift it's half price basically.
