The big brown christmas truck showed up today with some goodies today. I ordered my control arm parts for my 3 link from Rubicon Express. Front of the arm will have the greasable monoball and the rear will run the hard durometer rubber. Arm iteself will be 1 1/2" x .125 DOM tubing. The upper link will be adjustable. These are some very nice parts and should be able to take anything I throw at them and should have some ride quality I hope. Hopefully soon I can decide on whether to buy brackets or laser cut my own. I will post up some more pics after I weld them up.

Hi Mike, I don't know if you read my reply at the other board so I'll post here too. If you need 3/4" left hand thread hardware to make your link adjustable without removal let me know. I have a spares...these are hard to find in grade 8. Vin

Yep I read it. Not quite there yet. Lowers are fixed, only the upper is adjustable. Just got the jig to weld them up made. I will be doing some welding this weekend I hope.

Those look slick. I'm scratching my head a little, so I look forward to seeing pix with them in place.

I have been looking for the correct suspension for my car for some time now. I have 1973 camaro and I purchased some Strange 10 way adjustable coilovers for the rear with the shock cross bar and brakets but have yet to find the other suspension components. Now I went to Rubicon Express web site and it seems that they specialize in jeeps. Did they have to custom make these for you? Also did they make the pan hard rod too?

i think the "parts" came from rubicon... the johnny joints are used in jeeps for mad articulation.... and the rest is fabbed by mike

I bought the parts from Rubicon and I tig welded it up myself. Marcus at SC&C turned me on to them. All of my suspension is custom built with the exception of a few pieces. I have Marcus to thank for setting me up. I will be posting dynamic numbers next week when I get the report. He is very happy with the outcome and it sounds like I will be too.

That is what I have been looking for to upgrade my Martz 4 link, do you have a web address for the links?

If it comes to it I will cut them and add a threaded adjuster. I have an idea for a simpler type of finite adjustment that I will look at when I make my rear end and chassis brackets. There is no reason to have adjustable lower arms except to correct a problem I shouldn't have to start with. The upper center link and the panhard will both be adjustable though. I am building the rear suspension with everything mocked in place and it will be completely trial fitted before the final welds are finished on the rear end.
