3 link vs Radius arm build

[foxwar71]

7 pages in and I cant believe nobody's suggested this yet......




You need some IRO long arms :gee:

You cannot build a radius arm without soft rubber or poly bushings, it will rip mounts off. Period. Clayton's pro series stuff is either a three link with all solid joints or their four link which has rubber bushings like their radius arms.

Short arms got me across the country and back, that's cool enough for me

Sure you can, if you only use an upper arm on one side. It's the two sides fighting each other that causes the bind.

Still doesn't mean it's a good idea though.

Idk now
I want to stay low but also be flexible
As far as going bigger axle wise

being flexible on shortarms is definitely possible.

flex is the last reason to go with longer control arms in my opinion.

Sounds like it would be in your best interested to pickup some good shortarms

That post didn't sound right.
I meant flexible like less Work when it comes time to go bigger axle wise but I like chedsimes idear of using the short arms as parts for the long arms.

I don't want to pick up a set of arms I want to build them.

I dunno I see waggy 44s some times for like $200 around here if I find one at that price I'd probably get it.

You can get them at that price all day long. It just costs money to build them. The gear ratios they have are useless and you will pretty much have to do a complete rebuild. Stock shafts aren't anything special either.

Then you need to gear them, bc they're probably 2.73s. Then you need mounts.

 

[Luke95]

That is true and it sucks.
I may or may not.
I'll be doing the short arms most likely.

[Luke95]

Will do

x2.
either do a mild d30/8.25 build or go balls deep and build one tons. no sense in wasting money and time on a waggy d44 or any d44 for that matter IMO, for whatever that's worth to ya.
