What are the advantages of this over a conventional 4 link?

Re: airbar for 73-87 is ready!
 

Shane, I can't answer that directly, maybe the ridetech guys can.
Been following the build, was interested in it because it's a complete bolt on kit, my "fab" sk1llz are sucky, so I thought it would be a good kit for someone without a lot of custom work.

Re: airbar for 73-87 is ready!
 

Essentially it is a conventional 4 link. The advantage is it's a bolt in kit that engineered for a specific application.

It's not for the guys that want to lay frame, but it is a pretty nice set up if you don't want to cut your bed out.

the # 1 answer . . ....

That does make a lot of sense .... one of my "DUH" moments. I didn't think of it that way and forgot that these models came with leaf springs.

Thanks guys.

it won't lay frame.so,how low can you go? till the tire's hit?

Based on my current limitations w/a static drop, I would say the front will still be limited by the crossmember or the inner wheel wells depending on the tire height. The rear limitation will be the rear axle housing in the c-notch or an un-modified bed floor.

Prob equal to a 5/7 drop but ride better & be adjustable JIC you want to throw stuff in the bed.

It will go this low...;)

Re: airbar for 73-87 is ready!
 

it is air rides truck... i can get more pics if you want. It will go a couple inches lower if you trim into your bed.

Besides the c-notch, is everything else use existing holes in the frame, or do you have to modify?
