Has anyone tried them?  Does anyone else make these for less?

Thanks in advance,

I have the Altered Ego 4.5" lift that uses their rear arms, the arms are higher cost but ya get alot more. If you can weld then you can make your own for alot less.

Lower suspension links:

$134.99 but not adjustable - these should work for a stock set up?

Thanks,

first what are your intentions/plans for your suspension?

 These are intended for vehicles with lifted suspensions(not stock) to get the axles back into the center of the wheel well.

kreator makes a kit that slides the axle back one inch to help with tire clearance.  You get a new upper third and lower links.

OR, you can also use all your stock parts by doing an old trick found here under " hagen mods " called rear axle overotation. moves the rear axle back a few inches and re-centers the wheel in the well and has several other advantages. I've been running mine like this for years and it works great.

I have not heard of this over-rotation thing,,,,Everyone talks about these "hagen mods" and when you search all you get is references to the name, do you have a link to this over-rotation?

It may be too old, but the whole thing used to be in the archives.

This is the first time I'm hearing about a rear axle Hagen mod - the perhaps more common one involves redrilling the front cross member to move the rear of the front control arm outwards - aupposedly corrects for positive camber, improves caster and allows the use of two left side axles - I'll see if I find the link and post it.

That be them all right. Thanks Fordem.

It is real easy to make your own adjustable links. I bought the creeper joints from low range and cut the ends off the links and then welded the creeper joints in. You can get well over an inch of adjustment and with a heim joint in the upper link, you get killer articulation. I am swapping a toyota axle in at the moment and will be selling my links, coils, and shocks shortly for cheap but its not too hard to do yourself if you want.     

I had made a set and although the articulation was indeed better, the eventual noise they made once they got a little worn didn't make the minor improvement worth it.

Use the Johnny Joints from Currie, then you don't get the rattle once they are broken in.

I havnt had a single issue with the Creeper joints on my AE kit. I grease the joints when I do oil changes or spend alot of time in water and muck. They are almost as tight as the day I put them in. I did take them apart before installing them and coated the exterior with chassis saver.

That's exactly what I used on the arms, but I got 'em from Ballistic Fab. Like I said, worked great, but too many submersion's probably wore them prematurely. Most water out here is real sandy and it acts like grinding compound I think. That's why I ended up converting to discs in the rear too. I was replacing wheel cylinders and shoes about as often as I was changing oil. Give me the desert any day!
