i prefer the simplicity of the autolynx, as I don't need anything more than on/off for my tastes...

But that price? 40% cheaper than autolynx?

I'm already an autolynx owner, and very happy with the product. Nothing here to make me switch, but to new buyers with on-board air already, i'd take the savings.

Similar idea to the JKS Flex Connect but potentially better. More adjustable to preference and no need to remove and disassemble to change springs. Also no need to source random parts to make them mount without cutting the passenger tab.

Then add the Flex Connect for JT/JL apears to be discontinued?

Why couldn’t they have lockouts like mountain bike shocks?

Contemplating these or just keeping my Metalcloak links. Hmmm.

These are pretty sharp!

Just got an email that these are available now.

I have the autoLYNX on mine. They work great! I've had really good luck with them.

Post what you think of them after a while.

Interesting idea. I note the video clips they show are in high-speed whoops where the entire axle deflects more or less flat up and down, with little angle between the axle and links. Their bushings do not look like they’ll be happy with a large angle, like you’d get when fully flexed with a disconnected Rubicon sway bar and the links at full road pressure. It would be great to see pictures of the angles produced when crawling, and what happens with the bushings.

I have a Rubicon, and I can’t say I’ve ever wished for a rate in between on and off. Anyone here think that’s a really clear need for them?

On the other hand these are cheaper than my high-angle Rock Krawler links, so there’s that

It's obviously not a need, but I like my Flex Connects being able to tune the front bar rate, isolate some of the small chop, and think these links would possibly even work better so long as they don't leak.

You just would need a sensitive ass to really feel the difference and justify the cost?

Last I spoke with JKS they still sold the Flex link, then one would buy the passenger link separately, I was unimpressed with our chat and told them so, they didn’t care at all!

Certainly possible things have changed since then!

Last time I looked for the part number to assemble one of my suspension packages for a client I was working with, the JT/JL kit was nowhere to be found on the JKS website and that part was scrubbed from 3 different suppliers websites as well. Sure, you could piece one together with the links and spring kit separate, but it's definitely not economical. People already had a hadvtime swallowing the $329 price tag for the kit.

You are correct that the people at JKS and whoever else they represent don't really seem to care one way or another about the product. I tried to get them to make a couple of bushings and package up a proper kit for the Rubicon crowd, but no go.

I would suspect it's not really a hot mover becuase there just aren't enough technical people who are "drivers" that appreciate the product and are willing to go to the extent to fine tune a Jeep into a fine driving machine?

Ill out travel these but its a great idea for most!

Ah yes, I believe it was you who I had some back and forth with in another thread a while back as I was considering this route for my Mojave. My plan was to get the Flex link and Rock Krawler was willing to sell me one adjustable linke to match the other side. I have an older set of JKS disconnects sitting around and nobody including me wants them...

 

[XraytecH]

Yikes!!!

300psi to lock them out?!? Granted it won't take much effort with the proper hand pump.

I spotted these last night. They look interesting but it seems like it's really more for the Rubicon with the electronic swaybar disconnect. They don't look tall enough to give as much flex as the Autolynx.
