Upper link is badass for some good link seperation, looks like mine. Many kits mount the upper and lower nearly at the same elevation with little to no link seperation. Either works 4- 5" of seperation is what I like with 8-10" at the axle end. Preferably tunable like the crossmember pictured.
That looks almost identical to my TnT Customs radius arm crossmember, just modified for a 3 link. There is a not-great picture of it in the first post of my build thread (sorry for the pic dump). TnT used this 1-piece style crossmember with the transfer case skid integrated into it before changing the design to how it is currently.
Maybe they offered a 3 link at some point? I see no evidence of it being hacked and modified. It would take some serious intrusion to remove the radius arm mounts and graft a piece back in to make it as flush as yours.
I love that the upper is on the driver's side. Its way easier to put it on the passenger side, but this keeps the pinion angle under control as the suspension cycles. Looks like a great piece. Just make sure to service your transmission and transfer case before putting it on because it sucks having to pull it off for maintenance.

Yes My upper is on passenger side. Though cycling the suspension with no springs I decided im not sure if the upper on the driver does anything positive for the drive line.
I do know link length changes it. My upper is about 30% lower than lower suspposebly keeps yoke pointed at transfercase . Were equak length the yoke points away during its arc of travel.
I testedIall this and came to the conclusuin to throw some links on it and roll nothing I found was a ohhh my good thats the Ticket. It was a okay maybe thats better ill do that.
I did find axle end seperation was huge I didnt start out with options but cut it apart and now have 8 9 10 of seperation option at the axle end.
I really like the set up here. Looking closely I started thinking the upper might have been added im still leaning that way. So I could be a radius arm kit.
If it is its done well doesnt look like a hack job like my jeep
