Re: Why dont our trucks have 3 link??

The truck arm is a 2 link with a panhard to keep it straight.A 3 link is more like what a 3rd/4th gen f body has 2 lower links a long torque arm and a panhard bar to keep it straight.A 3 link is set up for handling not hauling weight.Trucks are built to be used as a truck to haul weight and pull weight leaf springs the best at this.The 2nd gen ford lightnings used a 4 link but the towing weight for it was almost what a car is.But the truck arms can handle nascar has used them since the 80s tell today.
