Do u need a 4-link with coil springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have heard that you only need a 4-link on leaf spring rears but i dont know if this is true. I was wondering if i would need a 4-link on a 64' because they have that stock panhard bar on the rear axle. thought maybe it was enough? thanks for the advice, and was wondering how hard a 4 link is to install if it proves necessary. thanks again

Why do you want a 4 link? Are you planning on air bagging it... whats your plans?

no a 4 isnt needed the stock setup is fine and will provide good traction well into the 10 second range drag racing as long as its setup properly.

No, assuming you have the trailing arm suspension, that is fine for airbags, you can put them in place of the factory coils. I guess it depends on how low you want to go, like fastbagged68 said what are your plans with the vehicle? The more information you can give us, the more information we can give you, right now were just shooting in the dark
