X-Link or Super Flex Arms ?

Post by Cambo4sho »

Hello every one. I'm intending to add a flex in the front end of my GQ. I'm after max flex for a good price. I'm looking between an X-Link or some Super Flex Arms. Is there any one who can help me make the right chois

I would go the superior super flex arms, no cutting and welding required as far as i know, much easier to revert back to standard arms if pinged for em! dont know what the differences are in flex tho!

If you want all out flex with a comprimise of driving ability then x-link, if you want a near factory handling with extra flex than super flex arms.
They are based on two totally diferent basis,
We designed the super flex arms because their was a need for them in the winch challenge race events were extra flex was a benefit but not comprimising the high speed handling, their are countless wins with superflex ams in competition around australia as well as overseas, i am guessing here but i know x-links cant boast the same .
X-links will outflex superflex arms uphill but they are a very unstable flex compared to other suspension alternatives.
Having massive flex does not make it good suspension, their are many more factors to consider, if it was the case suspension would be easy to design and manufacture.
Before you guys with x-links jump up and down we have tried and tested all the options available on the market as far as nissan front ends and before you have input you should have at least done the same.

Like i said if all you want is all out flex go for x-links if you want a truck that flex's and handles than superflex arms.
Nor sure about x-links but i have heard in some states of aus super flex arms are getting engineer approved.

2 different setups for 2 different applications. ;)

X link will definatly give u max flex, but is a bit "different" to drive... Arms are good if u would like to keep manners and have good flex
