Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix

With the axle in place and the 4 link bars cinched down it was time to add the icing on this cake. Besides a much cleaner design of the entire 4 link kit, the biggest difference is the change in bags and shocks.

The previous system worked just fine with the sleeved bags and separate shocks. This set up required a panhard bar that was located with a bracket attached to the center of the axle. It worked very well, and rode smoothly. It was however a bit cluttered and did not allow room for a rear exit exhaust.

The new design allows the use of coil overs or Shockwave air springs on the same kit. This includes a lower mounted panhard bar with a much cleaner placement. All of this means you have room to tuck a true dual exhaust system and run it out the back.
