Stuff I did in the last few days.

Installed my Iron Rock 6.5" Critical Path Long Arm Kit!!!!!
Installed my Tantrum under lighting rock lights.
Fresh tune up.....runs smoother and I'm getting better fuel mileage for sure!

So after reading this thread: Time to beef things up!

I've decided that for long arms I'm gonna get this: TREKS y-link

instead of this: RC LA upgrade.

Unless what FrankZ has to offer is more appealing. Yes I'm aware there's a $250 price difference. RC's Long Arm frame mounts also hang down below the cross member. I really don't like that design.

I would, but I really like the design of the TnT Y-link where the frame side of the arms is tucked up and don't hang down like yours or the RC style do.

anyone running chromoly axles? Im running 33" swampers but im upgrading to a 9" long arm and will be running 35" swampers and will need something stronger. I can get 27 spline chomolys at a decent price and will not have to have a new locker. 30 splines are stronger but require a new locker and cost ALOT more. Anyone know the capabilities of the 27 splines?
