Hey folks
Has anyone installed a narrowed rear 4 link race type rear suspension in their truck?
If so who's kit ? Was it painful to get done? Whats the cost range?
I am considering it for my 68 I have major traction issues.

thanks

Hmmmm, if it's a trailing arm suspension you shouldn't have any issues.

i agree. a trailing arm setup is by far the most effective method to get power to the ground. tell us what you have as far as setup ride height exc, Someone here will surely have an answer for you.

Have you looked at the HTH kit? Give Steve a call and talk to him. There is a kit for sale in that section right now also (by PTS Customs).

Talk to Lost Wages, he used a Pete & Jakes 4-link in his truck. I have some pix of the his set up if you can't get ahold of him.

My junk has leaf spring type suspension in the rear. Pretty much just lifts and spins but I havent had a chance to see what it will do with slicks and good ground .Have a feeling it wont change much.
