Re: cheap MT's

another one for the mudstars here, the standard 33's to suit a 15" rim arent much bigger than a 32 but if you go a 16" rim they're almost right on the money, i honestly cant fault mine they never give me dramas, only selling to go up a size

Re: Hilux cv upgrade

Or for $800 you can buy my full set of 30spline longfields that have never been used and are still in the box? Just another option ;)

Re: radius arm vs 3link

Haha you have, the reason I was steering towards a radius arm was the simplicity, if its as much geometry in a radius as a 3 link I'll just go a 3link, atleast there I can design it on a calculated first, build in some adjustability and throw a sway bar on if it sucks on road

Re: radius arm vs 3link

That looks good with them tucked right on like that, I imagine itd get pretty decent flex.
If I was to move the bushes closer together on the arms id only do one side, one side would control axle wrap and the other would allow flex, similar to a 3 link

Both will increase the track, better flex than standard and handle the high speed stuff great! No idea about legalities though
