    Ahhhh another fellow man of taste. Realistically I didn't want to french my frame and it gives me more room for steering.

    Starting something new… got asked to do a 4wu kit on this red 4door with bypasses and coilovers and an engine cage. See how it goes.

    currently has a wfo kit

    No complaint on my front and rear 4WU 3 link.

    My recommendation, stay leaf spring for less routine maintenance :annoyed: and definitely cheaper for the long run. @malburg114 you know how that go.... :hattip:

    My 3link has been relatively maintenance free. I haven’t touched anything suspension wise besides tighten some bolts since I finished it 3 years ago now. Heims and everything still feel tight even after several hard seasons of hard wheeling. Only thing I really need to do is replace the lower links as they are pretty mangled

    I haven't done much beside the constant torque check on jam nut etc. But when I had my last leaf spring, it was pretty much set and forget.

    So far I’ve only unpacked it and I’m missing 2 misalignments and need another right hand 7/8 heim. And absolutely no instructions or info on what to cut on the superduty axle or where to place the link brackets.

    I imagine this will just end up similar to mine with fancy brackets that are already made. But I’m staying optimistic on it
