I want to see what other's have done. post your pics in this thread.

Thanks.

I suck at taking pics, but I put a bend on my lower links for tire clearance.
If I did again I'd create a sub frame and just triangulate the lowers until they clear.

how is your turning radius?

Welndm...your pics do "suck"!! lol

Need a brighter flash!

I'm thinking use the duff long arms that I have and go with the weld on brackets, but they will still use 2 bushings on each arm or go with 3 link and may give away some turning radius...
Will it make a difference with full width axles?

Here is my proper 3 link. In the final configuration it has a ram assist
The fab was done by Glen Straightiff in El Cajon CA several years back.
Other things to notice are large rod ends and a pretty fat trackbar.
Very adjustable setup, but the rod ends are rotated for link lengths. Even with that it was still less costly for an alignment than a Jeep parallel link setup.
Final setup is 0 deg toe and 10deg caster. Drives great - hands off on the highway at speed.
Question about steering radius. Yes, it is limited with the adjustment screw with slight adjustment due to the 13.5" wide BFG Baja tires tires. Your result will depend?
Bushings ?? No way - That is a Jeep thing.

Pictures:
First pic the final. Above the aluminum skid find a Steering cooler and the stat for the trans cooler
Middle is the 3 link before the ram was added
Right hand pic is a view from the rear showing the rear arms.

Nic work pcw...

At ride height, how many inches btw the upper 3 link arm and frame rail directly under the body mount? ...and can I also ask what #'s you have at the top of your axle tube and frame at rest? Thanks.

Thanks for your interest
From the C/L of the rear rod end to the top of the body mount is 6-1/8"
Top of axle tube to frame is 5-1/2"
No body lift.
Does this answer the questions?
