Its time to upgrade my Jeep Wrangler JKUs suspension!!!
Long arms are a great upgrade, and provide a ton of benefits.
I went with a DIY 3 link front and rear kit from 7 Slot Customs. This is a new kit, and i am the first to install it.
It will be available in many options soon, found at https://www.7slotcustoms.com/?ac=jkgear
Like i mentioned in the video, 7SC has teamed up with the youtube channel and is offering you guys a permanent 10% off discount code on products using the code JKgear.
Now lets talk about the 3 link long arms..
A 3 link will be a great choice for offroading due to the design. Less binding, due to the single upper link allowing for misalignment.
This bind free design, will translate over to a “softer” on road feel.
If you want a 3 link front and rear, i would strongly suggest running both front and rear sway bars, as well as adjustable shocks or a shock that is valved stiff in design.
In a few videos from now, i will be testing the new long arms offroad, as well as taking the jeep on a cross country trip to attend the Powerstop trail to sema. I will be putting this kit to the test!
As you can tell, the install requires welding, cutting, and a good amount of fabrication skills.
I will say that it goes together very easy, and overall its not much harder than other long arm installs.
If your looking for a well priced kit that performs well, then i would strongly suggest this 7SC kit. Yes it does require some work, but nothing beats the feeling of doing this yourself!
Like always, i hope you enjoyed the video. Please leave a comment and a thumbs up!
I have alot of cool videos coming soon, so make sure to turn on notifications and stay tuned!!

Nice!! Great job!! 🙂
Do you think if you left the driver side the short arm setup while doing the passenger side upper it would be easier?
I love barnes products. I found them from watching you. Thanks man.
Awesome video man!!! I watched is a second haha. I have a question though about you lift what is your ride height or basically what was it before you change arms
Do you think this kit would work for a 2dr JK '13 I'm planning on doing like you did the 1 ton swap and the 3 link system but would the rear work the same as yours?
Smithfield ,va in the hoose
The code doesn't work
you said bung haha. but seriously great video and looks like it will perform well!
Great job!! Thx for all the info.
I’m never going to go this far with my JK, but it’s fascinating to watch. Thanks for making such detailed videos! Far beyond the typical YouTube bolt on. Love your channel.
Did you buy your own tubing or was that provided in the kit?
Bruh… This is a SICK video. Love it.
Don't give in to peer pressure keep the light bar
get ride of the light bar. Nice work.
Any thoughts on daily driving with this kit?
I was thinking of having rubber joints in place of the the heims. I drive 100 miles a day
I'm not a fan of lightbars but with the Flag cover, I like it… So leave it… Have a great day…
Cool vid dude, good to see a step by step guide! As for the welding, stick welding is more than strong enough for control arms 😉
Dude a four link is the only way to go. If you break one you are high and dry in the bush!.check out the EVO rear set up.
Great video, very informative
you need to put raptor spray to keep the rust of it looks bad at this time
I have a 2018 Jeep Sahara JL with 2” lift kit feels stiff and jumps I like to know what is the problem
Very informative Ben!!! Thank you!! It answered a lot of questions I had and gave me things to look out for. And to answer your question about the light bar, Virginia is DARK at night but it’s up to you. I personally am not a fan of them though. I look forward to many more of your videos and meeting up with you.
hey great job on your jeep but an fyi you cam absolutely weld your bungs in your links with stick welding. it will be stronger then mig
