Yes.

I've never ran one.

I personally prefer Rock Krawler or Claytons.

Run a true 3 link and you'll be happier for whatever reason.

I clicked on this thread wondering what a v-link was.

Ylink setups are really easy to fab, and have a lot of handling issues offroad. Bascially your caster is fixed and stays the same throughthe range of flex. Your suspension is also held in place by 2 bolts on the frame side... not exactly comforting. They also unload on hill climbs, and can act really funky on side hilling off camber

Anybody got a link to some good 3 link setups that don't include rear parts?

There have been quite a few similar threads about LA upgrades.

Since I have been looking at 3 links I have been post whoring trying to get outside input.
