Four link pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would like to see some pics of people's four link setup, triangulated, parallel, whatever you have. Also, any dimensions, measurements, angles, any other info to compile here about your setup. I'm thinking of building my own four link for my truck. I've got some rotted away trailing arms so thats the reason for the thoughts.

Nice. Looks like you went on a shopping spree at SD to build the cantilevers- did it come out cheaper than the KP 6-link? Nice welds too.

PM me I have a four link bar calculator that works off Microsoft excel, works for different types of links tells you anti squat, roll axis, etc. you must know frame height off ground at ride height and tire size for it to give you acurrate numbers, will definatly help with the design of your 4 link

haha yeah I did. I would say I have about the same $$$ in it as a kp kit. but, on the kp kit you only spend a day or so installing it. This rear kit has a lot of hours into it. The rear suspension is at the powdercoaters right now, when it's done I'll make a build thread on my truck. I have a lot in store for it and i really think yall will enjoy checking out my progress.

make sure that you put some gussetts on those lower bars. Round bars seem to bend when you mount the bags on them. SD.com makes a pretty good looking gussett for them.

duane67c-10 · 01-14-2008, 02:39 PM

yea that was just tacked up

Slmd92DIME · 01-14-2008, 06:57 PM

i have a general question. i had a 96 chevy with f9000 sleeves over the axle inside the frame and it felt like it had body roll pretty bad. im about to get an 80s c10 and want to do a wishbone link setup all inside the frame but i am worried about the roll again. has anybody experienced this? then again there might not even be enough room to mount the lower bars and bags outside the frame so i was just curious. thanks

The further outboard you go... the better the stability. You can help compensate for this with a sway bar and some quality shocks mounted outboard. Sometimes you have to pick and choose... optimum form and function aren't always easy to achieve.

brett83 · 01-16-2008, 07:39 PM

thanks, thats what i was thinking.

You could have also been having issues with not running them at their intended ride height or if they were sharing the same air source, that can make the body roll exagerated as well.
