Running a rear 3-link on my JK, 3.5" RK lift with mid length control arms. Also extended shock mounts on the rear.

Moved and have lost room and need for my commuter vehicle so I am driving the Jeep a lot more, which is great.

However, the Jeep has lots of body roll when driving which I assume is due to the three link suspension. I would like to bring back the upper control arms in the rear for road driving, but was wondering if anyone could forsee a problem with doing this. Also, take suggestions for helping on-road handling.


Will adding the upper control arms (will use RK) fix this problem and is there a problem with adding these without removing the center the link? I figure removing the control arms before going on the trail is a 10 minute job that I am willing to trade off for improved daily use.

 

You running a rear swaybar? From what i read its super important running a 3 link.

 

Running a factory rear sway bar. There has been a recommendation to upgrade to the Currie, which I am looking in to as well.

 

What shocks are you running? If you are able to, charging them with a higher nitrogen pressure should help.

 

Thanks for the input, didn't think about firming up the shocks. Or possibly more reactive.

Bilstein Shocks, don't remember the exact model number


How much will that sacrifice ride feel? Live in New Orleans, so everyday is like running the Baja, only rougher.


Obviously it is a Jeep so it ain't a caddy.

 

Doesn't look like those are able to be charged.
