quad, I have absolutely no idea on how to do the 3 link, or 4 link. I could copy something, and I have a general idea on how it all works, but I dont know the first thing to designing one. But radius arms and a trac bar? I could throw that right under there.....

you should get the thread on extension you can buy and weld it to the end. course i would prolly add some reinforcement since RA's tend to take a beating!

I kinda like that idea, just because of the simplicity... Wonder how much I could make a set for? I think all I would need is a lathe.. For the price of those though, I could buy the dom, and prolly the joints for the end...

Yeah, if I went with something like that, I would do that too. So I might as well just build some, or at least do it my way and save some coin...

the thing that sucks is they are not offset so if you run large tires you rub on them compared to a cage arm

Well, since I'm going to make mine more than likely, what if I made a cross member and inboarded them some?
