Anyone know where I can get some high clearance lower links for a stock crawler king?

I'm using integy axial links or you can make some with treaded rod and brake line that way you can make it any wheelbase you want.

So the axial lower high clearance links are the same as stock crawler king with stock knuckles?

that longer w.b wont hurt you to bad Taurus. It may help keepin it from rolling over so easy too. Go to TCS crawlers, they have em on sale for like $4 for a whole set, they're green, but we can de-anodize them and polish em up nice n shiny for you. I have a full set laying on my workbench right now. They're good quality and should work just fine.

Just put on my new axial middle bend lower links and I'm having a problem with the roll backwards and forwards of the axles. It is putting the driveshaft in a bad angle sometimes.   |

If you lengthened the lower links without lengthening the upper links it will pull the top of the axel towards the center of the chassis giving you terrible pinion angles. With pics we might be able to see to help.

Yeah I only did the lower links. I didn't realize would have to do both. I have it set at a decent angle right now, it's just when u hit the gas the twists forward.

If you are still using the original upper link , the mount bushing wears out. This could be causing the play, if you remove the screw that holds the link to the mount the bushing may fall out or be very loose.

Here's what I ended up doing. Was it right? Maybe not. Does it work really good? Yes. Any opinions on this?     |
