why are you debating against 2 EXTREMELY different kits?

I wouldnt run either.

iron rock is a radius arm design using just rubber bushings to secure the axle in place with a cheesy caster adjuster. and it costs more if you want threaded adjustable arms.

I dont know much about the dirtbound kit, and they dont show any pics of it installed or how the upper arm mounts.

I used to run a y link. I upgraded to a midarm 3 link. I liked the 3 link better in every situation.

Well I want to upgrade the dirt bound one to a three link when I know more about suspension geometry and such. The reason between those two is because of my budget as a college student. Also where did you mount your links on your three link? I've read you've made a awesome three link I just couldn't find a build thread on it.

I've emailed him but I have not gotten any pics. And every time I call I get a machine and I have left a message. But I have gotten measurements or the lower arms
