art dosen't have a bolt in 4 link for our trucks. they have a bolt on cool ride setup for the front, and a weld in 4 link setup for the back of our trucks. the 4 link in back replaces the heavy leafs, and the front setup replaces the heavy coils, the air tank and compressor don't wiegh much at all, i'm betting i wll gain more from the better launch from a 4 link rear than i will lose from the negligable added weight

"i would get a weld in 4 link btw"

i'd rather not have to stress about getting the bars and brackets at the right angles, a bolt on set up is much easier to install and the brackets can be welded after everything is set up. if i do a bolt in i wil be able to install it all and drive it and make sure everything is perfect, and then go back and weld the brackets for added strength if i want.
