Thier are 2 "cheap" setups I'd recomend to you.

Motion Offroad sells a set. Check out thier website at motionoffroad.com for thier design. It's a 4 link setup.

I'd also look into Rock Krawler's 3 link setup. It's about the same price as the MO kit but it's a true 3 link and you don't have to worry about getting new uppers that way. I know Motion Offroad is a dealer for them so maybe contact them for a price.

EDIT: Here is a link to an ebay auction for the RK setup from Motion. CLICK ME

A 4 link setup utilizes 2 lower control arms and than 2 upper control arms.

A 3 link setup utilizes 2 lower control arms and than 1 upper control arm. The RK kit has the upper control arm on the drivers side attached.

A 3 link setup typically flexes better than a 4 link. Thier is a lot more info, but thats the basics of it.

Than to throw something else into the mix, thier is a Y-Link setup that utilizes 2 lower control arms and 2 upper control arms. However the upper control arms attach to the lower control arms instead of to the body.

As Lead said we carry our 4 link setup as well as the 3 link Rock Krawler setup. Thier are several pics of our setup on our website. Feel free to email or PM us for prices.

We do carry a full line of other adjustable and lower control arms for the XJ/MJ as well. Let us know how we can help.

The 3 link setup from Rock Krawler is thier new gen 3 setup and it's definatly a nice kit. It includes 3 control arms (2 lowers and 1 upper) as well as a new bushing for the upper mount on the axle and all needed hardware/mounts.

Does the Rock Krawler setup work on the Comanche's?

Both our setup as well as the Rock Krawler setup works on the MJ's. With the RK setup we just need a measurement from you to forward onto RK so they send you the correct setup (they have 2 different mounting kits).
