I'm into my 3 link about 350 with joints, bungs, and steel. What tristin said, if your gonna build it then build it right. Don't skimp on joints or arm material. I wouldn't do anything other then a true 3-link. Id give ya the dimensions and geometry of mine but I pushed my front end forward about 4-5" which I'm assuming you aren't planning on doing.
