I finally got the catalog downloaded,for some reason it didn't want to work on my wife's laptop,

I have a question for you guys, why is it that only one end of the links has adjustable end? Why not both ends? Is it to keep the costs down? I'm on a fence ,hesitant to pull the trigger and can't decide if I should build my own tri 4-link with currie end or buy yours,the only problem I see ,is that I want fully adjustable ends, so if I have to tweak something ,I won't have to pull the arms out of brackets to do a simple adjustment,is there an option for both ends of the bar to be adjustable?Can any of you give me a good answer, Matt, Craig?

Also a quick question, your tri 4-bar kit, is it universal or made for 1st gen F body?

Thanks alot

Typically we offer four-bar/link type suspensions with one fixed bushing because they are more sucesptable to a jam nut backing off while the axle housing articulates. Granted, this usually only occurs in drag-race four-link suspensions. It's also cheaper for the customer to have one fixed end on each link.

I don't see any reason why we couldn't do it with LH/RH threaded links, but it may cost a bit more (more rod ends, custom links, blah blah). I can look into it if you'd like.

The tri 4-bar kit is strictly universal.
