    Questions about the 3 link

    Posted this on the other forum as well. Just wondering if anyone is at the stage of their build, or has their parts handy to give me the length of the swedged tubes in the 3 link set up. The shorter upper link and the panhard bar.
    Thanks,
    Higgy

    OK, different question. On the solid axle, using a donor axle housing(88-93) will the 95 and up disc brake brackets, calipers and 11.65 rotors all bolt right up if I'm using the proper length 5 lug axles?
    Thanks,

    Are looking for just the tube lengths or assembled lengths with Heim joints?

    Yes, I did exactly this and still was able to fit fat wide wheels in the back while maintaining the look I wanted. Rear tires are 315/35R17




    Installed the rear axle and beautifully designed 3 link rear suspension with coilovers.

    That's what I needed to know thanks! Also, after watching your video and a couple others I found out that in our set up if we switch the calipers, brackets and anti moan brackets to the opposite side, the calipers can be mounted on the front. Supposed to make for easier E-brake cable routing. You would have to remove your quad shock brackets though. Thanks again!!
