Floppy's long arm 4 link upgrgade

[Repsolaaron]

I just ordered the clayton 8" long arm kit with 4 link rear and three link front. Rear will have air shocks. Main goal is this

[REDxj5150]

That's a bad looking rig. I like it. What kind of deal did you find on the 3 link?

[Toy4xchris]

Looks pretty awesome

[Repsolaaron]

$950 for the three link

[Lake_v2]

Hells ya, you gonna plate the frame and put one tons under it to?

[Repsolaaron]

I'm going to use the stock axles for now. I have 60s for it but it will be awhile to build them. Wifey is only letting me buy this for now.

[Toy4xchris]

something is better than nothing . I am in the same boat can only do so much at once.

[AJ99]

Where did you find that deal at>???

[Repsolaaron]

I called Clayton offroad inc. and talked directly to Clayton.

[AJ99]

nice.

[REDxj5150]

I should have talked to these fools at KOH because that 3 link is the cat's pajamas. I'm just trying to stick to the order I want to do things in, and stiffening the frame comes first in my book.

[H. Badger]

Now that's an XJ I could go with. What's your estimate for completion?

[Repsolaaron]

Somewhere around $5500

Wow better than I thought.

Wow.... looks like a bug has hit a bunch of us.

How much are the air shocks and why are you doing them vs coilovers or struts?

This is good shit..... tell your woman I approved the one ton axle upgrade! If she says no, I'll let her look at... even touch, mine. It's so nice, she might cream her shorts. WAF is that close!

What do you like about a three link more than let's say a double tringulated four link?

Nice... about half of what I paid for the struts. Whne you add the bump cans and sway bars.... what does each corner come to?

Think about those numbers... the struts might be inline cost wise, but a better option for sure!

[Repsolaaron]

Working on that now

[REDxj5150]

Brad's here to turn everyone to ORI's. They are a pretty sweet deal actually. Perhaps if you look hard enough you can find some used.

[Repsolaaron]

Don't really want to buy anything used cause you never know how it was treated and how long it will last before replacing it.

[abendx]

I'll give you my real opinion in a few months.... let me get some miles on mine.

But.... everything I read, hear, and see... they are the hot ticket!

[REDxj5150]

ORI's can be rebuilt just like any other high end shock. I'd definitely try to save money where you can on this big of a build.

[Toy4xchris]

Procomp has 4" travel air bumps that come with the weld on mount like $178 or so a piece thats the direction I am going.

[Repsolaaron]

This is my first major build. So after 4 linking it and getting the right travel with the air shocks than I'll get the correct measurements for the air bumps and sway bar. Any opinions are appreciated though
