Can you retype that with some punctuation please. It's stupidly hard to read and understand.

You might also want to enter the word x link in the search function.
There are a number of good threads.

ok ok, im sorry for the punctuation mistakes, just wanted to find out wat some other peaple had to say. I do want to add that the first two people to reply to my question have not helped what so ever and are infact doing exactly what i have alredy refered to. I have quickly looked throgh the seach results and not come across anyone running xlink and super flex arms at the same time, any help would be great i have prob missed the thread that is on this.

personally I don't understand how people can think that the drop boxes create a clearance problem.

I'm 4" with DBs, and I may hit them occassionally, but wouldn't see the benefit of having arms versus the dollars. I think its a great set-up.

I had drop boxes with a 3 inch lift and it made the angles go too far the other way. The arm actually angled down to the box a bit.

I took them out, and now am looking for the best correction as it's a bit all over the place on the road.

Are there different size drop boxes?

For a 3inch lift you can just use offset castor bushes in the control arms.

yeah im running x link already with caster bushes and drop boxs, the car is now four link coil over rear with extended wheelbase,etc,etc,etc. it seems to get hung up on the drop box and cross member,so i was thinking of running arms and making a high clearance cross member to try solve this problem(at least help any way). now i know they are totally different but was asking if they would work together or for some reason not work
flex is not the aim of this mod i am alredy very happy with the xlink it is so simple and effective,i have also read on here there is problems with standard arms bending, any advise or first hand experience would be great thanks

Are you sure your springs are actually sitting at 3"? Most drop boxes are made to a specific drop (although some try to cater for multiple lift amounts), so in theory your 3" boxes should line up your arms perfectly with 3" lifted springs. I know my 4" setup is perfect (Superior).

Radius bushes might be your answer, albeit a "cheap" way out.

LOWBUG ... if you could see your way clear, to retype your question in a READABLE format, you would be far more likely to get some real help.

The two people who asked for a readable format, are quite likely people who can help, and possibly would if you'd taken care of your attitude.

This thread is also void of replies from many other people who could help you, but they too, took one look and went away shaking their heads.

Treat us with respect, and we will return that courtesy.

Bring in attitude, and that too will be returned.

It is all just so easy.
