How well did that setup hold up at that level of your build? Looks like you wheeled it well. I had noticed where you could buy a pro rock 44 housing and transfer the rubi guts over to it. Were you able to turn lock to lock flexed out without getting into the frame or did you notch it? Those pics are with a 3" rear stretch like you posted earlier or less? Any stretch in front?

It held up very well my prorock had rcv shafts in it never any issues the rear 44 was the weak link shafts couldn't handle the bigger tires I did notch the the frame so I had no problems turning lock to lock and yes it was with the 3" stretch in the back.

You wont have any issues with a 3 link set up. I have had RK's long arm (3 link rear, 4 link front) on my JK for years. I do the same type of driving you describe. No issues and handles great.
