You didn't miss anything. It is a rear 3link. I'd built about 30 of them or so. This x-member is one of the first ones I'd done close to 8 years ago under a rubicon. It got tons put under it with tube front and back half sections, 16" ori's with 43" tires. The guy that bought the rubi axles and x-member 3 years ago reached out to have them installed.
