BrettM Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I would definitely go with the TnT arms over the RE longarms. I bent design of the arm on the TnT is a little better, but the attachment method and design of the crossmember on the TnT is miles ahead of the RE.

comancheon33 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would go the TNT kit without a doubt. I love mine to death. The flex is awesome. The mounting system is unbeatable. Plus you don't give up much ground clearence at all. It is a well biult kit and the customer service from Bob is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I love the design of the Y-link and spoke with Matt from TnT (smart dude, great info) I have all my $#!& ready to go as far as add-ons and measurements (running an AW4 out of a Grand) I just have to my YJ to come up with the cash :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M357.5 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 My main problem with the short arms is that due to the geometry of the 4 link , it tries to maintain caster through out the full travell of the suspension.......this is causing the driveshaft u-joint at the pinion yoke to bind prmaturely before full droop. So I currently have my travel limited to keep this from happening. My only options that I have come up with are the long arms.....which keep the pinion angle constant throughout the travell......and the other is an offset trunion u-joint from tom woods , which gives 10 degrees more angularity than a stock u-joint before binding. In unlimited form with the drveshaft out , it will droop at least 4/5" more without binding anything else........I have already talked myself into the TnT Y-Link. Just waiting for an email to see if I own the kit I was looking at. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Get a helper. The TNT system is great, but a MAJOR pain in the Arse to put on. Also read the instructions all the way through. There is a couple of steps that have to be done out of the order listed, because they need to be done first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M357.5 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yep.......I subscribe to JP , and have the issue sitting in front of me LOL. Thats where I first seen the TnT stuff. This is going to be a major pain to install cuz after looking at a few pics of this it seems that it may interfear with my rock rails.......Knew i should have waited to build them DAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here are some from my install HTH Looks Niiice. Would you recommend the product, or go a different route next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comancheon33 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 This is the only way to fly. A few of my buddys have ran rustys and were not happy at all. This thing has out flexed them all and the clearence is awesome. Mine has flexed out far enough to actually let the left front spring fall out. Thats with a 7.5 inch lift. It is totally unbeleivable what it will do. The on the street ride quality is second to none. TNT all th eway and don't look back it is money well spent in my opinion.

feerocknok Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Would you be able to get a couple pics of up into the crossmember from the front? I can't tell how the links mount to the member, and TnT doesn't have any pics of it. And does it have heims, or work off the threaded adjustments to rotate?

comancheon33 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It uses Rubicon Express Flex Joints at the crossmember. On the front edge of the crossmember they built pockets for the arm to mount up in to. I will look to see if I have a front shot in the album. The adjustments are a pain because you do have to loosen the arm from the crossmember. The arms come preset at thestock length and you can adjust them accordingly as you install them. I pushed my front axle ahead about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
