Do you have to run full hydro with this kit or can you run crossover?

We have not tested this setup with a hysteer setup we have only tested it with full hydro. If you use hysteer it might limit your flex but like I said we have not tested it with that setup.

Still curious if you plan to sell parts of the kit or if you'll only sell all of it. I might want to do longer links. I already have a bunch of DOM laying around the shop. I already have tube inserts ... you get the idea.

Are the front and rear parts interchangeable?

No they are not. The link parts are designed to be front or rear specific for the geometry of the link setup in relation to your model truck. Here is a link to the front and rear 3 link kits so you can see the difference in the link mounts. http://trail-gear.com/trail-link.html Hope this helps.

I suspected as much. Those posting links to parts in this thread and the other linked thread (above) are posting rear three-link parts.

I'm guessing the front three-link parts will also be available ...?

After clicking on the above posted link, the page shows the front three link kit on top of the page and if you scroll down it shows the rear three link kit.
You can then click on the pictures of the shown parts and get a closer view of all the items included with the kit.

We are not offering the brackets individually at this time.

That's really too bad, I was looking forward to purchasing just the brackets, as I have a ton of left over tube to link my front...

Other than getting a driver side drop front axle, will the 3 link front work on a Tacoma?

How long do the links come? Are the lowers at 0* or slightly traingulated? Vertical speration? I am curious because I have an IFS frame and want to stick with highsteer.
