I've decided that I'm going to upgrade to a long arm kit but not sure on what I want so I want to see what you guys are running and what you guys think on different setups, likes/dislikes and why. All info on long arm kits/3links are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Here we go. Toss IRO out the window. Most everything youll find is going to be a radius arm setup. The QUALITY kits are Clayton, Rock Krawler, and Serious...BDS and RE also have pretty nice L/A setups..but again..most are radius arm setups.
For what its worth im currently in the process of getting my 3 link built and installed. 3 link literally will not bind during articulation..only thing thats going to stop it from moving is going to be the upper arm hitting the floor, or some other piece of the suspension limiting the travel.. usually shocks or hopefully bumpstops/limiting straps.

Looks like RK makes a true 4 link and a 3 link kit.. their website is so ****ed its hard to tell though..their 3 link kit shows 4 arms, and their 4 link kit shows 3 arms. I would say though for just all around quality/price.. serious long arms.

Love my IRO long arms... Not knockin' em til they break or mess up some how, which they haven't. They ARE radius arm setups. If you can swing it, do a TRUE 3 link.

My 3 link consists of a currie JJ insert on the upper axle mount, 7/8x3/4 Heims elsewhere. Custom cross member, DOM upper, and square lower arms.

there are only about 3 that i would even consider.
but it all comes down to what you like and what you can afford.
me personally, i would only go with one that also offers a rear conversion kit.
