Rock krawler 3.0 overland x pro mid-arm

[Panda]

I’m looking for real world experience with this setup (preferably long term). I can’t really find any reviews. The 4-link is what has caught my interest with this lift. I’ve read some stuff praising rock krawler and then other people being frustrated with their stuff.

@Zachanadandy here's on for ya.

I don't run the whole kit my springs are metalcloak 3.5" but I do run the triangulated 4 link in the rear. In my opinion that alone made more difference in the handling of the truck than any single Jeep mod I've ever done. No more side to side head toss when hitting bumps at an angle. The rear is planted and accelerates better in loose terrain without breaking traction. The pinion now stays pointed at the tcase thrift suspension travel. Mines been on for 30k miles now without issue. And with no rear track bar the 37x12.50 MT fits under the bed no problem. It's good enough I'd never own a JT without the 4 link at this point.

Synergy also just came out with the same style 4 link as RK. Haven't seen anyone run it yet.

I'm planning on going 4link here soon.

I just went and looked at it online hard to tell but looks heavily built .

Not to hijack, but the synergy system looks to be a standalone for just the uppers. Can you still run long arm lowers with these? Not sure how that geometry would work out.

The two best things you can do for the Jeeps suspension is Triangulate the rear and long arm the front.

The RK is standalone as well or can be bought within a system.

They aren't designed for long arm lowers and triangulating the uppers on an actual long arm wouldn't work as the fuel tank is in the way. That's why rock krawler uses the triangulated 4 link on their mid arm kits and switches to a 3 link rear with track bar fire their long arm kits. The JT rear lowers are already pretty damn long so it's argue it's not necessary. I still run the stock lowers without issue.

Ok I was wondering on that. If I’m seeing right the uppers connect in stock locations on frame side. I haven’t laid under the Jeep with this in mind yet but was thinking get the Clayton Brackets and lower arms and modify where the uppers would connect and just use the lower frame connectors. Not sure if it would be an improvement or not but something to think about. I’ll have to go into the shop and discuss geometry and see what they think.
