I need a set of adjustable upper and lower links to locate my axle slightly further back for clearance. I don't want to go the route of extending the existing links, and so far I have only seen the Allpro Prolink setup that will allow for it.
However I'm not super enthused about the maintenance aspect of it though. I searched but couldn't find any info on it.
So you guys with Prolinks, did you lube them before installation, do you need to lube them regularly afterwards, etc? Any other issues with these to be aware of like brake line mount hitting swaybar, etc?
Thanks.
BTW not looking for a my link is bigger and better than your link discussion, just some info on these links and folks experiences. I have been running "kurtfab" beefed up lower links with factory bushings so far with no issues, but need more functionality now.

Why are you moving your axle back ? You will have other issues to deal with if you do. Even with a lift, the suspension arc should be the same (unless you are doing some type of custom system). The axle swings in an arc of travel when stock, and a lift just repositions its starting point.
Regarding the AllPro prolinks, maintainence is no problem. They have lube fittings at each johnny joint, which are accessible when you allow the suspension to drop to full travel. Other than checking mount bolt torque,noother normal maintainence is required

Thx for the response.
I'm doing this on my 4RUnner, where Toyota decided to be not as generous with wheelwell space as the FJC. My 35s are rubbing the front and back of the wheel well, and I had to drop the bumpstop 2". I got a custom rear bumper, which was trimmed back and I can trim the body back in the rear. Unfortunately no trimming is possible in the front with the rear doors. I only want to move the axle back a 1/4" or so, whcih will give quite a bit of additional up travel back.
So you lube them before installation with normal U joint grease, and then once a year or so maybe?
I would assume the grease nipple is the same as on the U-joints on the driveshaft. I'm planning on lubing mine with the Mobil 1 syn grease I use for the U-joints.
I'll probably just lube mine before install and then when I do the driveshafts (1-2 times a year). Don't see why it would really need more as they don't nearly do the same work as the u-joints.
