Trail Gear 3-link. Opinions?
Ok, my f-toy project I'm working on had a 3-link if the front in its last configuration. It came with some of the parts, but the links are bent and the housing is missing a bunch of parts. Originally I was going to trash it and sell off what I could thinking it was a home-brew bastard thing because the links were super long and the frame mounts were damn near in the center of the chassis and hang down pretty far and looked like rock-catchers. However the more research I do the more its looking like it was/is a Trail-Gear set up which I know they have sold a ton of.
So from those that hang with the Toy crowed and old message boards more than I have, what is the opinion of the TG kit? Is it worth ditching my leaf-spring plan and putting the 3-link back together? Is the link position and hanging brackets going to make me hate them or are they not as bad as they seem? I had plans on linking the front in its next incarnation anyway so...
First hand experience or internet gossip, I don't care just let me know what the over all feel is.
thanks
