where is the best place to mount 3 link shocks, both in front or 1 in front 1 behind....the springs are on the top of the rearend end and it has a solid pull bar...is there really much of a difference....thanks

It really mostly depends on the strength of the shock. In front will require stronger Comp and Reb. Its a leverage thing similar to swingarm spring rates. In back its range of motion will be greater but will have more strength in leverage over the axle.

Not to hi jack the thread, but, is it better to run a solid pull bar or a spring pull bar???

I feel 3 link should be solid as a spring makes it rearsteer funny as it wraps up and the link angles become more extreme.
