I have a Rubicon LJ wth the RE longarm kit. Well I broke my rear trackbar locator off the axle last wknd. Crazy brake, never seen one brake like this one did. Broke the weld on one side and the middle section on the other side! Anyway, I want to do a three link and was considering the RE kit but it doesn't look that great. Was just wanting advice on how to build one while still using the RE uppers. Will have to get the uper center joint and the angle correctors for the arms coming off the skid from RE. The axle end joints froze up, thats why it broke I think. So yeah, any advice or pics of truss would be appreciated. I'm a pretty good welder and fabricator but I've never done one of these and want to build it to last the first time. Thanks
 
I did research it but found nothing that reused the RE uppers. Thats why I asked about suggestions using them. I'm not a Newb so I didn't think it would apply. Love how people say got to Pirate!! Do you not think that the guys around here know just as much the dudes on pirate? Sharks If your to lazy to write anything helpful, Don't. Nevermind the thread anyway. I allready made up my own truss and I don't think it will ever break so no need for suggestions. Peace!

I was lookin at your website and saw the trail-link kit you sell. Do you think the RE kit could work with the axle setup in that kit? Or would the lowers need to be moved on the tranny skid? I like the idea of not using the RE center link. Thanks for any info.

I guess I don't see the sense in trying to use the uppers in a 3 link setup. Are you trying to use one lower and two uppers or make the two uppers come together as one at the frame side?

Excuse my sarcastic comment but when you post up something and then reply to it by making a smart-ass comment like "thanks for all the help" it irritates me a little bit, it appears that you are wanting everyone else to do all the work for you. You didn't get any responses here so I suggested you go to another board that has a lot more folks on to ask the question, maybe, just maybe someone over there might have some responses for you.
