Main reason for going to the Y-link is the ride both on and off road.
I don't need anymore flex than I already get with my short arms.....I just want a better ride (especially when driving fast on the back-roads)

Exactly why i swapped to longarms. I got in on a group buy on RE components and picked up the RE lowers, and reused my existing uppers, combined with Clayton's crossmember. I wasnt concerned about clearance as i dont wheel much anymore.
Now to pick up a set of Bilsteins and limit straps.

i raised the mounts on the axle 2.5" for better angles (same benefits of drop brackets, except with added clearance)

Well, after spending 18 hours working on my Jeep yesterday with the held of Zach and Joe, we managed to get my T&T Y-Link suspension installed along with the T&T Stiffeners and Dana 30 truss. Also managed to get my RuffStuff 8.25 cover on and shaved the bottom of the 8.25 housing.
Here are some pictures from the day.
On the lift
Welding the Stiffeners on
I started myself on fire a few times
Zach doing some welding
Front axle gone
Ruffstuff cover and shaved 8.25
T&T Dana 30 truss welded on
LCA mount gone
Hanging the front axle again

Randy,
What gear did you end up going with in tour TC for the speedo? I am running 4.56's with 31" tires. I belive that is what you are running. I couldnd find it in the thread.
I ran the no-slip for a couple years in my 8.25, until I upgraded to an 8.8 and ARB. I had no issues with the no-slip and it was a good locker.
