What do you suggest doing for a rear setup? I wanted to do an 11" Kpcomponents c-notch to clear 22's. I have a 12 bolt posi from an 87 burban that I could get a flip kit for and use some 2x3 1/4 box tubing for the link bars mounted on the outside of the frame. I wanted to mount the bags on the bars for lift and buy a Totally Pollished brand watts link setup. Thats at least $700 to $1000 bucks right there. What setup are you running and what size wheel are you on? And are you Layin Rocker? Thanks for the help!

yes i am layin rocker. I have a tri 4-link on the rear with the bottom straight bars out of 2x2 1/4" with bushings at the end and the bags mounted on them. You talked about 2x3 tubing but 2x2 would be fine. They are on the outside of the frame rails. The top links are double ended 3/4" heims mounted on a truss over the axle. It rides really nice. Pretty cheap to make too. I made mine for cheaper then this but this is a start.
http://www.*****************/SuperLif...4-LinkKit.php# If I were you I would not go for a watts link unless you made it your self. THey are way to expensive and the tri 4 link kill two birds with one stone by centering the axle. Right now I have gay 17"s that came on my truck but I can lay on 22's. The rims I am looking at are the boss 330. I want 22's with a 40 profile tire but i cant find them any lower than 24's though and I dont know if I want to do the extra work to lay 24's with a 35 profile. I really just want a nice simple 6 spoke. Any way if you do it smart a tri 4 link is not that expensive at all. YOu could also go with a wishbone three link. There are alot of options out there if you dont do a 2 link or spend $1000 on a kp 6 link when they come out. And if you are wondering what my front setup is, I have a 4" Z with lower control arms and drum brakes. To lay the 22's up front I will need another 1.5" drop so drop spindle are my best bet. Power steering and power brakes might be nice too.
