Question on Complete Kit and 3 Link Suspension

[CaptB]

I know the complete kit comes with a 3 link deluxe rear suspension, does that come with everything if I ordered a Moser 8.8 from Forte?

I know there is an upper link that requires welding (which Forte does for free if I send it to them) but does that upper link come in the complete kit or has to be ordered with the 3-link retro fit assembly?

Does this question even make sense??

The kit comes with the two LCA's, upper link, and Panhard (aka track) bar. Along with coilovers and all the hardware. If Forte puts the banana bracket on the axle, should be good to go. Even better if welded.

I had one of the first Moser diffs from Forte once he started stocking them vs. recon Ford rears. I had to have mine welded on once I got the diff from Mike. The axle tubes are bigger than stock, so the bracket had to be modified and welded on. The bracket comes in the complete kit boxes, so check with Mike to see if he is sourcing and pre-welding the bracket when you order it from him. I *think* he is, but can't say for sure.

edit: Never mind.... I just saw that you stated you have to get your kit and then send the bracket to him. I'd go that route for sure unless you have someone local you trust. The bracket is included as part of the complete kit. Once you have the diff with bracket welded, apart from rear brakes (which you can also get through Mike), the rear assembly is complete.

I ordered a Moser 8.8 from Factory Five just a couple months ago and it came with the banana bracket already welded on. That plus the 3-link deluxe suspension had 99% of everything I needed. I also got a lubelocker for the rear diff cover since I had to open it up and remove the axle shafts. I thought it was easier to remove the axle shafts to torque down the brackets for the rear brakes. I also had to get gear oil + friction modifier.
