Re: Rear suspension... thinking out loud

Hey matt I don't know how much fabbing your wanting to do but a parallel 4 link or tri 4 link only costs the price of material by the length of two more bars. The only problem I've heard out of the two link is like pulling in and out of places that aren't flat you throw everything into a bind becuase if one wheel wants to go up they both wanna go up and as you know both wheels dont hit an incline at the same time if your turning. Also with the two link you cant drive very far at different heights due to pinion angle. a 4link keeps closer to the pinion angle you set all the way through the suspension travel. Either way you do it though it'll be sweet! I love bagged rides keep us posted. With pics of course. p.s. if you go with the 2 link all you need to stop side to side movement is a panhard bar being as you won't be adjusting the ride height and driving. A watts is used with high travel suspensions b/c a panhard pushes or pulls the tires to one side or the other while going up and down. Just my $.02 tho
