3 Link Design?

[ILikeMud]

Thanks guys. I'll be doing the lowers on the frame rail.

Also, since I've got this thread going, anyone ever thought of doing or know if it's possible to do a double triangulated 4 link in the rear of a ZJ?

Koz Offroad has done one, they did the double triangled front and rear...

[ILikeMud]

Bah, screw it, doing the front will be enough of a headache. I'm just going to see if I can get the Clayton rear brackets and build off that.

Also I'm thinking of using 3" joints for the front because those links (especially the upper) will see a lot of force. Overkill? Will a 2.5 (or 2.63) joint do? I'm looking at Ballistic's Joints.

At that size I'm more concerned about the bracket itself, not the joint.

explain? Sorry, I've only welded arms together, never the mounts.

[OverkillZJ]

One point of failure, saying build it strong.

[JordanA]

Oh, well duh. I was thinking there was something else to it. Thanks for clarifying.

Have you priced anything made by clayton?

[ILikeMud]

Yes.
I don't want radius arms up front.
I may just buy the rear Clayton set up though.
I'll just got with the smaller Ballistic joint since that's what a brackets use anyhow.
