just fitted x link to my 80

Hey Chad now i guess the next mod will be notching the axle tube to gain more clearance for the upswept radius arm

Post by **RUFF** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 9:32 am

Mick the big question here that no one has asked is what does it drive like on road now compared to before?

Wow!!

I'm starting stage 2 on my XLink because mick flexes better than mine

and this idea is one of the steps in stage 2. not that the arm touches the tube often(tuff truck travel ramp)

It would have to be a sturdy notch.

when i build my buggy the XLink is what i'm going to run(well the base princible of the XLink)

my car aint a standard 4 inch lift as yous would have figured out im running 29 inch pro comp shocks 4 inch king springs i have superior engineering coil drop outs in the rear to keep the coils in the x link on the front has made my front coil lose as well so ill have to retain them.
what else can i say it drives the same as before as long as swaybar fitted dont drive without it you will end up crashing.
the damper is ok udm only bought it cause i like the look off it

ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT IT DOES STOP ANYLISING IT TAKE THE PLUNGE AND BUY IT I BOUGHT IT IN SYDNEY CUT MY HOLIDAY SHORT TO COME HOME GOT HOME 10 PM FITTED IT AT 900 THE NEXT DAY JUST DO IT

seriuosly best money i have spent on my truck but im a FLEX JUNKY i love it

if you buy it be prepared to spend money on new shocks youll want more flex with the x link the sky is th limit

hope this helps
cheers mick

only thing they worked good for was making the allready top heavy 80's and GQ's even more unstable

dont get me wrong, I was just mucking around.

mick80 wrote:p.s. udm can you show me your car what lift shock lengths etc thanks lad

its nothing special, just a 5link up front on 6" dobinsons springs and toughdog shocks, shocks are the same lengths as yours but I have lowered the top mounts by about 4", + all the usuall labour like bumpstop resizing, etc.
