Yooo. Got my links swapped today. I've got a set of prototypes from 74Weld. The final version will also be length-adjustable.

They look amazing. The aluminum has a premium look and feel to it. Everything is very robust. I really like that they went with sealed joints. Should hold up much better than OEM on the trails.

The install is not terribly hard, but I recommend that you put some jack stands under the frame so you can fully droop your suspension. Then you can use a jack to lift the axle up/down as needed. You'll also need some ratchet straps to help with alignment. Things have a tendency to shift around when you disconnect them. Work on one link at a time. And make sure you loosen at the bolt end, not the nut end. I found out that the nuts have 4 metal protrusions that help grip the frame and embed themselves in the metal when tightened down. I nearly broke a big breaker bar trying to get the upper ones out until I understood what to do.

In total, I did 5 links. Panhard/track bar, rear upper, real lower.


As always... picture below!
