    Well I have been digging again.....

    I found this company...

    http://www.qscomponents.com/4linkoptions.html


    They have this set-up for $296.00  That is a good deal when you are talking all those ends and tube adapters.  If I went with Poly Performance and Johny Joints it would be near $600.00

    But how strong is the 3/4 rod end?  Will it work for me?

      I'll measure my JJ's when I get home to give you an idea of size to strength. I got mine to handle rockwells and 44" swampers. Course I chose not to run that axle and tire but I have the joints anyway.

        Well I went the option to build my own set up.  Mainly because the tube and springs I already had.

                Ya I did not trust the 3/4 rod ends so i did pay a bit more for the currie.  Guess what the johny joints are cheapest through the people who makes them....currie enterprises.  All togeather I am at $600 bucks for this rear set-up.  If I had to buy tube and springs....I would be around $800.  I am going to start cutting and welding this weekend.

                      Well I got her done on Sunday.  I took it out to bridgeport on monday.  The dang park was closed so I went to the 1800 acre atv park in lake bridgeport.  They have only a few good trails, but I was able to really open it up and hit some speed with rough bumps.  It all held up.  My only thing is...she sits perfect hight in the rear now....but I hope the rear springs dont squat over time like the front did.  If they do I will have to jack it up some how.  I will post some pics later.

                        cant wait to see it live. I am sure the springs will sit down a bit but you can just add a spacer.

                          Here is a few pics of the final set-up.  I had to cut the lower links 8" because of clearance and they just did not look right.
