Re: 4 link ?
24" will work but longer bars should offer a better ride.

Re: 4 link ?
I am getting ready to set up my 4-bar as well. I had a question on the fabrication side of it though. Do I need to pull my axles before welding on the axle tubes? or is it common practice to burn in brackets with the axle and fluids still in the housing?

I would make sure to minimize heat soak & change the fluid when your done for sure.

Re: 4 link ?
Thanks,
If it's reccomended to change the fluid after welding any ways, then I'll probably drain it first, and if I'm that far might as well pull the c-clips and pull out the axle. (need to look into c-clip eliminators as the BB like to rip stuff up with stupid amounts of torque) |
