Default FAB-ulous (pics)

my brother in law builds these...

...my new longarm kit for my jeep, I picked it up this weekend, and still need to drill 8 holes to accept the trans/tcase bolts, and then it goes to powdercoat.

He's pretty handy with a wire feed. All the tabs welded on are laser cut 3/16" and the outer crossmember brackets are made on an ironworker shear/punch press, and then press brake bent.

Jason you trust that half Y link set up? At least the RK set up uses its own frame anchor point for the single upper arm. I don't see any adjustment for these. What if you have a slighty bigger or smaller lift? 2 mounting bolts on each side? Is that it?

The upper uses a heim for adjustability, its just not in the picture.

Personally we've used 1 link on Jerry's Comanche which sees hard abuse and competition and in 3 years its never shown any signs of failure. On the kits that we've sold to others, they get 2 Y links. I chose to run one because I've seen the suspension travel difference vs 2 and I've seen it hold up to the abuse. The biggest thing is just to not use a shitty heim.

I'm getting alot of web-wheeler love on NAXJA, but thats exactly what 90% of the people on there are...web wheelers...
