I was gonna change over to a parallel 4 link but after seeing this KPC kit i am super stoked to go that route. I just wanna make sure it will let me lay as low as i need to be. I am only running 17's now with 315/35/17 rubber so i am guessing it would be no prob as that white truck is almost on the ground with 22's. I may upgrade to 20's someday tho, so i need to know forsure that it would lay pinch. BTW that truck is sick, i can't even look at it without drooling!

There is plenty of room to lay pinch with the KP weld-in notch. With the frame on the ground, and the 22's out back there is still nearly two inches of room in the notch. They also make a bolt-in notch for the square body that will lay frame with a 20" wheel (not sure about tire diameter). Maybe Clint can chime-in.

I already have a large step notch. My concern is if the actual 6 link will lay that low. Looking at this picture kinda makes me worried that it won't. It looks like his axle would have to be bottomed out in his notch to lay pinch, is that possible with this kit? Or is it just the way this truck is set up?

i think maybe the shocks are limiting that. or maybe it needs bigger dogbones. i know my friend had to make longer dogbones on another companies 6 link to lay.

Yes i agree. I was looking on th KPC website after i had posted that and i believe they offer different size "dogbones?" for different wheel sizes which makes sense. So for example if i wanted to lay pinch on a 20 i could order the 22 i assume?

I went and looked at my truck after i posted that earlier as well and i have a new concern now lol. From looking at the pictures, if you were laying pinch wouldn't the bottom of the cant. bag support be dragging on the ground, especially if you were up in the front and dumped in the rear? It looks like it would be damn close if it didn't hit. It's so hard doing guess work from other peoples pics! Does anyone have one of these kits that would be able to measure how close to the ground these sit? I assume they don't hang lower than the stock bumpers? And again does anyone know what happens to bumper mounts if you have em? sorry for all the ?'s, i'm gonna be rippin my truck apart again this weekend and i need to know which route to take so i can get things ordered. :-) Thanks.

The bumper brackets stay put... we didn't have to mod em at all on Dino's truck. As for the canti-lever bracket being too close to the ground... I am pretty sure you're safe on that one. I will air up the front of the truck tomorrow and dump the rear and see where it's at.
