yes sir i do, i have an aftermarket centerlink from a guy i know who makes them, and makes them pretty damn well, theres a thread i started called pretty important mod, in that thread ther are pics of the first one he made.
from factorey, the centerlink has 2 ball joints at each end, 1 for the tie rod, the other for the pitman or idler arm, i now only have 2 ball joints on my centerlink, they are at the tie rods, at each of the arms i have a 5/8 hinge with teflon bearings instead, makes for incredibly solid steering, almost totally eliminated my bump steer, and of course the very next day i intalled an idler arm brace

i went with a/c's basic lift, dosent come with tbars or shocks, i want to buy those separately, and dont intend on wheelin hard until i do so. all it comes with are longer control arms, bushings, ball joints, 6 zerk fittings, addaleaf pack, and all the hardware to bolt it on. $425 before shipping. im thinkin of the bilstien shocks and nismo or SLR tbars
