Another bag ??

I've decided to start the front of the suspension today(I was bored).

If I don't get the back done is it bad to drive with just the front? This is more then likely a stupid question but i have to ask. I want to get it all done before I drive it but I might not get to. Will it screw up the pinion angle if I was to drive it higher then the 6 inch drop the front had?

Secondly, does anyone know a good bolt in 4 link kit and where to buy it from? I would really like to a weld in one but there's no one in abilene that can do it and the guy I was going to borrow a trailer from to take to DFW, sold his trailer.

Thanks for any help ya'll can give

I've been driving with just the rear done for 3 weeks. FATMAN Fabrication might make one or Heidts.

It won't hurt to do just the front as long as the drop isn't too exaggerated. As for the bolt-on 4-link, that's going to be tough. I know KP components has a bolt on kit for the 73-up trucks. Maybe it could be tweaked to fit a 67-72 w/leafs.

Have you considered an air-over-leaf set-up? N2TRUX uses one on his 77 w/o any issues & it rides nice. I wouldn't go that route on high HP applications, but for normal use it works fine. Check AirRides site for details.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
