ok, so i have seen numerous posts of 3-link setups, they all consist of 2 lca's and 1 uca, well i was thinking, why doesnt anyone do 2 uca's and 1 lca??
secondedme first, nominated
There are plenty of people that do it. There's nothing wrong with that setup. The reason XJ guys don't do it is because it's already a major PITA to fit ONE upper link under there, let alone TWO!

Damn, this isn't rocket science. The lower links locate the axle and absorb impacts, so you need two of them. The upper arm/arms control axle rotation from torque so one will get the job done.
I'd hate to see the forces involved, and the result, of hitting a big rock at some speed with only one lower arm on the other side from the rock. Talk about folding like a taco.......

There are dozens of people on PBB that're running it that way :dunno:
That is just the intarwebz though.

Maybe they could have written that on your family's headstones!
