Truck just sold for ~$44k

 

No you’ll have to stretch it for a DC, that’s what I’m doing to my truck for my camburg links. But the URC arms do come in a single shock mount which is the closest mount to the axle, which will work perfect for running a coilover only. Not quite a full linked truck, but also not quite a short course set up

 

I’m selling my old sua leafs. $300 for all pictured. The main set is a hybrid of Engage and locally made mains. The other set are Deaver F67’s with a broken main. Out of all these springs you will be able to build a good set of usable springs located in north Sacramento for pick up only.

 

Steve’s prices is 3000$ for the 4 link kit with frame side pivots and all heims included

 

I have the camburg sua, and rj fab cantilever. If i were to do it again i would have done the dmz kit. I had (have) some quality control issues with camburg, and when I talked to them they pretty much told me I'm an idiot, and to kick rocks.

RJ fab has been a dream to work with. I think I'm around 17in of travel. Next step is tuning. Going to be interesting with the variable rate of shock travel through the cycle.

 

Anyone have a link to the Dirt Designs 3 link kit? Didn't know they made one.

 

They don’t really have a website I don’t think. Can tag him in here for more info @dirt designs. I believe @sytfu510 and @jjhitchen are running their kit

 

Doesn't look like it. Only a Facebook page. Thanks. Just doing research. Probably going the 3 link route and keeping my gas tank in the next rendition of my rear end.

 

Yeah and the fb page hasn’t been updated in years. I like their kit, and will be torn on 3-4-link whenever I redo my truck in the future

 

Back in 2017

 

Yeah i can't say good enough things about Steve from Dirt Designs. I've been working through some things with his front end kit and he has been super helpful!

 

Do you mind sharing what issues specifically?

 

Just email Steve at socalmoto@gmail.com

 

Parts weren't, and still aren't square. I ran through a set of bushings on the leaf hangers in i think less than 3k miles. Pulled it apart, and found the hangers were off square. Contacted camburg. They gave me the run around. Took me a while to talk to someone that didn't work behind the desk. Even then, they told me I didn't know what I was looking at. Finally drove down there with the hangers and bad bushings. They said they'd make some new ones and double check. They made me some delrin bushings in the mean time.

I reached out to them a week or so later because I hadn't heard anything. They said that my parts were in spec, and they have people that have never changed those bushings... Blah blah. At that point I gave up dealing with them.

A month ago, i took my truck to rj fab for an unrelated issues. I asked him to pull the hangers and look at the bushings. They were bad. Thankfully they had material to replace them. I currently have around 30k miles, mostly street, on the kit.

I've been meaning to talk to Tim at dmz and see if he can make me a set of hangers that size so I can stop having problems. When I first talked to Tim, he said it's originally his kit (weld on), and camburg took it and made it bolt on.

 

Here's another 3-link setup I came across. Is anybody familiar with them?

-26" of wheel travel with 14" coilover (2.5) and 18" bypass (3.0 max on stock axle)

I used to follow the guy whose truck is pictured on the site on Instagram. I forget his handle but he posted some good shots of the truck working well through some whoops.

I didn’t know it was an available kit though. Definitely saved for the future.

 

I know of a Nissan Titan he linked also. The owner has been testing it out in Glamis and such and has nothing but positive reviews to say.

I'm searching around for a good 3-link kit myself.

 

It’s only a dream for me right now, but I try to get all the info I can in the meantime. Graduate > daily > links & cage.. is the 3yr plan

 

looks like ruffstuff urc trailing arms with some brackets. not to say it doesn't work well... but for the price you could get the dirt designs 3 link and while you would sacrifice a little bit of travel, i think steve makes some really nice stuff.
