Title: 3 link build on Jeep XJ
Post by: lockedup on April 14, 2009, 11:27:23 AM: I forgot to take any pictures while i was building this so... I guess we will just jump to the finished product. I had a custom long arm on before i built this one but i was looking for alot better performance and drivability. So me and my brother designed this one. We built 2 of these kits but i think mine turned out the best ;D The arms mount about 12" behind the factory cross member bolts so the lower arms are about 4' long. On the frame side it has 6 1/2" of vertical seperation and 13 1/2" at the axle. I used the 3.0" ballistic joints on the lowers and the 2.63" adjustable cast ballistic joint on the 3 link.

Heres some pics of it and a couple poser shots :g
