| TCS servo mount/4 link
Is there any advantage to mounting the links above the servo 4-link plate from TCS? I know this is done in the rear with the TCS boomerank 4-link by alot of people that have the edge chassis (by kamikaze's design, above it with spacers). this is supposted to combat torque twist but I wasn't sure if it would help in the front.

i tried a few different combinations on the rear and ended up following the instructions that came with it. left them under. the site (TCS) said try the left up and right down but it didn't help any. it may help when I get my Edge chassis. I will try them both ways but unfortunately, I don't have a good proving ground. pillows and couches ain't rocks...

I used these to put a 4 link on my truck. I have a spot where I crawl routinely so I know how the truck works on certain rocks and areas. The 3 link worked just fine, only issue I had was after stretching my truck out I was getting a pinion rub on the links when really twisted up. Going to the 4 link fixed that, and it looks cooler (IMO.) Performance wise, I can't really tell. It works well on the same rocks, pretty much twists up the same and feels basically the same. Maybe a little more stable, maybe..if so it's real subtle. The truck does feel a little stiffer and more planted, but I also switched to a different shock setup that is working better too. |

It really makes the difference in the flex and how the suspension acts. | |

it raised my pinion by a few degrees in the front, I could tell the difference because the castor definitely changed. the steering linkage is a closer to the ground now. will the clockable hubs change this or will it be too much of an adjustment?

i am looking to increase the length of the upper links and get rid of the spacers. should be relatively easy with the use of the 4 link. I have some OFNA rod ends that are around 5 milimeters longer than stock. can I use these on both ends to make longer links?
