Well I'm not so concerned about the price, but more about quality but I appreciate the help!

Are you going to daily it too? Ball joint on both end of the link is rough (T3). Battle version(and Cusco) has one ball joint one side and bushing style on the other side.

I had ball joints (rod ends) on both ends and it wasnt bad at all. The only thing that sucked was I bought a used set and the rod ends had slop in em. Every time I turned in a parking lot the LSD would lock a little and make the axle move around. Made a bunch of noise. So yeah, long story short: Ball joints all around are ok, just make sure to get teflon lined rod ends (whether you build them yourself or buy them from someone else).

i just did wills 4-link setup. it was cheap, shipped fast and was easy to put together. it came out to under $200 shipped. ordered sat got it wed. a big big plus with this set up is if one of the rod ends blow out you can order just that from the website and fix it for under $15. i'll try to post pics later when i can.

And where would this write up be?
Only on the internet could a man spend a lot of time and effort doing a high quality job only to have everyone rip him a new hole for not having the same exact taste as everyone else.
