Front Range Offroad Rear links control arms!

I only put about 5000 miles a year on the truck. I have a few weeks to figure it out.

$585 includes shipping, for uppers & lowers. I have an adj panhard already. There's no one who makes them cheaper? I'd like to upgrade my stockers when I swap axles. I do trust Rockdawgs review 100% though.

you could build them cheaper, I just built a draglink and TieRod for my wife's FZJ80 and used weld in bungs and tierod ends. For just those two rods and 4 ends I spent right about $200 so to build 4 with bungs it would be about $400 but there are some little touches that I really like. The machined flats for adjusting, and the fact that the DOM is actually tapped instead of using a bung letting a larger hime be used, and the fact that my stock hardware fit perfectly in them.

All that said. These will be overkill for a lot of guys but build big or go home :cheer2:

I think I'm going with the Sonoran Steel Lowers & new stock uppers.

This is what Steve says:

"Why don't you make custom upper links?
The best replacement for the upper links is new stock upper links. The reason why is that you can not make either the lower or the upper links longer than that are, most critical on a 3rd Gen 4Runner, because the upper link brackets on the axle tube already clear the Panhard/trac/lateral bar cross-member by millimeters. Longer links will collide on compression causing catastrophic damage. The upper links will never get hit by rocks and the stock units side twist quite well. The small diameter solid stock will also twist like a torsion bar."

FYI: The first few years that we made lower links we used Rubicon Express, Currie Johnny and Summit Machine socket joints. While these joints did have good side twist movement, the problem was that they wore VERY quickly. Rebuilding the cartridge every year is not something we are interested in. The stock Toyota joints listed above side twist just as well and are maintenance free for an extremely long time. Another thing to note is the joint is from a 1998-2002 4Runner. The 1996-1997 4Runners had a hard rubber un-flexable joint. Toyota did a mid model tweak and rolled out the side flex joints for 1998+.

Rear Links and TrackBar

Hello,

Was wondering if you guys had a JJ Joint or bushing versions of your rear link kit. Interested in buy the rear link system but my 4runner is a dd and I've had issues running heims in the past with my jeep.

Thanks,

Matt
