What is a 3-link suspension system?

A 3-link suspension system uses three control arms to locate the axle relative to the frame. It's a popular choice for custom off-road vehicles because it offers good articulation and can be tuned for specific performance characteristics.

What are rod ends used for in suspension?

Rod ends, also known as heim joints, are spherical bearings that allow for rotational movement in multiple directions. In a custom suspension, they connect the suspension links to the frame and axle, allowing the suspension to articulate smoothly.

What else might I need to complete a 3-link build?

Beyond this kit, you'll typically need welding equipment, cutting tools, a way to measure and mark accurately, and potentially additional hardware like mounting brackets or hardware for connecting to your axle and frame.

Product Details

If you're fabricating a custom suspension setup for your off-road rig, building a robust 3-link system is a common goal. This kit from Artec Industries gives you the core components to get that project rolling. It includes the necessary tubing and rod ends to create a strong, adjustable linkage that can handle the demands of serious trail use.

This kit centers around 1 1/4 inch rod ends, which are a popular choice for their strength and durability in custom suspension builds. You'll get the tubing needed to cut and assemble your links to the exact length required for your specific application. This level of customization is key when you're tailoring suspension geometry for optimal performance on uneven terrain. Artec Industries is known for making well-built components for custom fabricators, and this kit reflects that focus on providing the essential hardware for serious projects.

When building a custom suspension, having reliable hardware is crucial. This kit provides the foundational pieces you'll need to construct your 3-link system. Remember to plan out your link lengths and mounting points carefully before cutting and welding. Having a good set of fabrication tools and understanding suspension geometry will help you get the most out of this kit.
