Personal preferance but i like the clayton longarm kits

Also another thing consider is the kit you have linked is just the longarns wont provide any additional lift if your looking for it

I don't prefer any long arm kit that mounts the frame side lower control arms directly below the frame, like the Clayton does and many others. There isn't enough benefit out of the really long arms to loose the ground clearance and breakover angle. Not sure how the Iron Rock arms mount, can't see it from the pics. The TnT kit has higher clearance, and the Synergy (Poly Performance) kit at least moves the lower arm mounts inside the frame which helps clearance in many situations.

I've shopped around for this, and I think i've got something I finally want to get. See all of these kits take a 4 link set up and turn it into radius arms. If i wanted radius arms i'd own a ford, so I'm going to get the clayton 3 link set up when the time comes. It's also cheaper than the 4 link setup.

Not sure on others, but the Synergy, Rock Krawler, and Full Traction kits are true 3 link, not radius arms. Has Clayton changed the mounting position of the LCA frame mounts, or are they still directly under the frame?

They're just inboard like the T&T kit, but not quite as high up. It's a very simple cross member without any real protection or skid plates. It's just a 2x4 square tube with a removable center section so it's not a big deal to remove the trans. They expect you to weld the LCA mounts to the frame but it's not required. The 3 link kit uses the same crossmember with an add on bracked for the UCA which is on the driver side. They don't use the stock UCA casing hoop, but you weld on a "truss" and the UCA is moved over 3 or 4 inches to the center.
