Adding a 3rd link with factory trailing arms?
 

Is it possible to add a 3rd link or 2 upper links with factory trailing arms and bags? I would like to add a link or wishbone get rid of of my panhard bar. Would like pics also. Thanks in advance

Re: Adding a 3rd link with factory trailing arms?
 

No. The truck arms are attached in a 'fixed' position (no pivot). Using a wishbone or upper links & eliminating the Panhard bar would require the lower links (truck arms) to pivot.

Why the desire to remove the PHB? If they're the right length, there's minimal side shift throughout suspension travel.

Oh ok didnt think about the bottom not pivoting. Just looking for something more to fab up I guess. lol Im step notching mine so I was wondering. I know before with the c notch I made a panhard bar from stock frame location to pass. trailing arm it had 1/4" travel which I dont think is much but I like the looks of a 3 or 4 link system.

If you're planning to fab it yourself.... get rid of the trucks arms & go 4-bar (or 3-link).

yeah but I already started fabing new trailing arms from 2x2x1/4 so guess Ill just do a panhard bar. Im not gonna lay anyways. Thanks though

If you're looking for a fabrication challenge.....just build a watts link like I'm doing ;) No side to side movement at all, and it just looks plain cool :lol:

Thats a matter of personal opinion on the looks part.
