His prices are comparable to every other company that offers the similar products. No it isnt cheap but nothing for these trucks are. I’m just happy to see more options for the people that want to modify their trucks.

I agree and I'm glad the aftermarket seems to be picking up for these trucks. I have built full bodied crawlers and I've moved to a purposed built rig. One really needs to evaluate the base vehicle and decide if it's the right platform to begin with. A full bodied crawler/trail rig has it's limitations. But that's the beauty of our sport, everyone get to spend their own money to build the truck of their dreams.

Very pricey from whoever you look at but I will admit that I would love to have some fancy anodized orange upper and lower control arms as they're about all you can see without having the wheels cranked one way or the other.

I have the rear links and the watts link on mine. The parts are insane/off-the-charts awesome. He's not overselling them in the video.

I'm not trying to tell everyone that they have to have them. But if you are thinking about these but still kinda wondering if they're as good as you hope they are, to me they are better than I hoped/expected them to be and anyone thinking about it can pull that trigger with confidence.

I'm saving up for the fronts now...

What kind of benefits / differences are you seeing?

I could see it for steering rack components (noted by 74Weld themselves as the weak point in these trucks if you're running larger tires), but can't see what kind of benefit an upgraded watt's link, etc, would provide.

Other than the links being stronger than factory, I'd assume all the links move smoother with a little less slop compared to the OEM stuff. Most people would probably never feel the difference though. Most people that buy any of the links I'd say are probably buying for the looks

Does the Watt's linkage feature spherical bearings or otherwise stiffened bushings?

I love that rear suspension design. It's pretty much the best you can do for a solid axle, and it's been around over a century; but there's one drawback: It's generally got a lot of rubber.

Stiffening up that assembly will affect the handling of the entire vehicle. It will be much more planted, and follow paved roads and even washboard with outstanding confidence.
