Good times. Kyle has me looking at scrapping my lift and going with the RK 3 link long arm. Pretty cheap considering what you get and compared to other long arm upgrades. Gonna drop it a bit just need some springs

What lift will you be taking off? I may be interested!

Looks like you guys had a blast... Although Mike has said my stock JKU will be just fine, i don't think i'd be trying those holes!

Your stocker would be fine here, it's a jeep! No, you won't run the obstacles but all of the trails will be good to go. I own the place and kept mine stock for three years, seriously it will do way more than you think, most likely more than you are willing to try to be quite honest.

His rear had a small home made clip and the front had a puck inside them to keep them in place. The springs come totally loose when he flexes but they stay in line and just slide back in as he comes back down. Its not the slickest setup but damn it kicked the RK stuff's ass. Its a small lift so his camber isnt too far out he said, he did mention that if he wanted to go higher he would just cut the stock lower arm and lengthen it just a bit.
