    i wouldn't call all reverse link setups dangerous, a forward 4-link can be just as dangerous as a reverse if not set up properly. you will probably need a wishbone style link setup if you want to keep your tank in the stock location.

    I make an offset "self jigging" 3-link kit.

    Keeps the tank in the stock location, and comes with brackets to move it up. They bolt to the crossmember and weld onto the notch.

    I am actually producing that as a kit now. I just need another couple of weeks to finish the jigs so I can reproduce everything. And then the prototype kit will be for sale.

    Ya I do have an online store there too. But I don't have the link setup on there yet. I need to finish the jigs before I commit to selling any of them. But I will probably let the prototype setup go for a lower price since it is all hand cut, and the kits will be laser cut.
