Got to tell you--there is a TON of info on this site regarding 3 & 4-link set-ups.
Just search for 3 link.

Radius arms unload terribly on climbs. The antisquat just sucks on em. The 3 link is a much better choice, however I personally think that the Rock Krawler kit is a cheap POS. 3-link will keep the front end more stable and predictable. If setup correctly (and no this is no possible with the RK kit) you can make the pinion rotate up when you flex....that can have good advantages. 3-link is just a flat out better setup.
Now im now saying that a radius arm setup sucks, but they have there down falls. I personally didnt like my front end lifting 6" when Id throw a little gas on an incline. If I were you Id find and edjucated friend or near shop and build your own. That way you can set it up exactly how you want and with much more beef than the RK.
If your not balls out ripping threw rocks, the RockKrawler Kit will be ok though. Ive not heard bad about it honestly but after installing the set for a buddy I was not impressed at all
