Triangulated 3 or 4 link?

[Eddie Greenlee]

Who is running a triangulated 3 or 4 link?
I am running short control arms on my tj. I’m just wondering the benefits from a triangulated system vs a mid to long arm system ? Also would like to see a few pictures. Thanks.

Mine is a triangulated 4 link mid arm.

also running the savvy mid arm as well. besides the climbing and stability improvement I appreciate not having a rear track bar to work around. Makes outboarding the read a bit easier ( though still a challenge ) and you don't have to worry about it rubbing the tank.

So your running mid arms in stock position or in a triangulated 4 link position ?

The savvy is a triangulated 4 link in the back.

As other have said, it's not necessarily about the arm length, its more about the geometry that results from the new mounting positions that makes it so effective.

@mrblaine showed me this in practice pushing a standing water bottle up an angled plank with a pencil. it's not the length of the arm, it's the point at which you touch the bottle that matters.

A mid arm is longer than stock.

Had Clayton 4link rear on my ‘02, ten years ago. It transformed the way that truck drove.

Cool , thanks man if that’s a mid arm , long arms would be way too long.

Way too long for what?

The front is a 3 link which requires a track bar. The rear triangulated 4 link cannot use a track bar.

if you want to run a triangulated 4 link short arm go pull out your rear track bar

The front is a 3 link which requires a track bar. The rear triangulated 4 link cannot use a track bar.

Is that standard practice to have the front three link and rear four link? Is one better than the other? I really like the four link you get rid of the track bar.

Typical on a TJ. The engine is in the way of a front triangulated 4 link.

You cant remove the front trackbar unless you also want to remove the draglink.
