RK states on there website there 4 link is better on road than there 3 link.

 

ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL

3 link will offer the most articulation, one less link to bind on.

4 link will be more stabile, better located axle, possible to get in a bind easier considering there is additional geometry.

Just like your Jeep Speed Guys run a 4 link.
While your off-roader build run a 3 link


Note: I'm talking about a 3 and 4 link systems plus a Panhard Bar (trackbar)

I'm not bringing up triangulated 4 links and other Jeep long arm kits (Radius Arm)

 

Don't agree at all...

I am a pure crawler that built a 4600 jeep converted over to a 1700 for a race then to 3700 and now full 3700 linked and bypasses. Would not agree at all....

 

To each his own man is all I got to say to you. Run what works best for you.

 

Don't care which is better for what...I care if I can fit one on my rig.

 

Installed the long arms last weekend. I'm sitting on 5 inches of lift and this is what the lowers look like now...

Imagine if u had it at 2.5 inches









And that's just sitting. No flexing.

I think u might possibly get away by flipping the arms so bends go downwards but it might look strange

 

I'm currently rebuilding my rig from being totaled...looks don't matter that much lol. How's clearance on the upper?

 

I ran a B. Lees offroad 3 link with 4 inches and 35s..wouldn't have wanted any lower. Uptravel is nice..

 

Don't have pictures. But while sitting at 5 inch. There's plenty of clearance for the upper link. I can't say about 2.5 though.

 

 

Closest thing may be 3.5" longarm by FullTraction.
And it's a 4 link!

I had the FT long arm kit on my last buggy. I would fully do that kit if the owners of the company were not such jack a$$es. Rock Krawler is just a better company on many levels.

I ran the FT kit with only one upper arm installed, but kept the other in the back box, just in case a bushing or anything ever failed on the trail with the one upper, I would just install the other and pull the one with the issue out...
