As far as the sterling goes.. I have been talking with a guy I know that works at Randys Ring and Pinion ever since I have stared building the rig. He held the sterling pretty high on his list as far as strenght and parts availability. Also having the aftermarket options, like you stated, with the ARB and gears... He even said to do the sterling over a d60 in the rear because of the strength of the axles and parts already stock in them.
I have not seen the 4link front thread. Can you link it for me? I would like to read it.
The guy that i have somewhat copied his build, did a custom link front and rear, but it was out of my skill range and knowledge at the time and the duff kit made sense. I am starting to think of pulling the duff arms out of the front and building my own link system. I can use those arms on my other eb. I would probably wait till i can atleast try it out first before i pull it. Just a thought I have been having since I saw first hand the non flex. I am curious of the cage brackets though. It cant be much different than the c bushings, if not worse. The cage has less material to flex in their set up / busings at the axle.
