Bought a set of these to go with my new rear axle. Will post pics once installed.

I installed the upper links today, I already installed the lowers last weekend. I lengthened the lowers by 1/4" and the uppers by 3/8". Both sides are heims so I was expecting some added vibrations, but yeah, it's about as bad as I expected. That's just the lowers installed; I'll do some driving with the uppers and see how much worse it gets.

Front Range Offroad links vs my brother's RESZ Fab offset links.









I just zipped-tied the ebrake cable mount out of the way, no provisions to mount them on these lower links.

I thought they mentioned something in one of the original posts about having a custom mounting for the ebrake cable? They look like nicely built arms, but I don’t like Heim joints (at least open ones) on daily driven, or in your case vehicles used a lot off road. I’ll be curious to see how they hold up long term in that environment especially. In the past when I’ve designed suspension components with Heims, I’ve always at least incorporated Seals-it washers, or similar boot seals to keep grease in, and dirt out for longevity. Are they Teflon lined joints?

I read the same thing about the ebrake mount, I might ask them about that.

No idea on the teflon part. They have black plastic liners but with my quick internet searching they could be nylon or teflon, not sure. I'll admit I'm not an expert on heim types (yet). I would have preferred Johnny Joints and poly bushings but like I said its more of a temporary setup, but we'll see how long they last on a daily driver.

NVH (vibrations) might have actually improved now that I've installed the upper links. Really not too bad now; not sure why.

Keep in mind one of my first mods was to fully sound-deaden the body.
