FBI 4 link install? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone tried one of the 73-87 specific 4 link kits from FBI?

Looks interesting, and I like that it's a triangulated 4 link like on my Chevelle, so there's no need for a panhard bar.

To tell you the truth its not bad at all the only thing i dont like are the heim joints on the ends, to squeaky and they are kind of cheap but no problems with it.

Thanks! Do you have any pics of your install?

You definitely want something with poly bushing on the end like the ART four links. I beleive you can buy them separately if you want to build your own or run a universal kit.

I'd like to see some more pics too. If you can get them, try to show where you did your upper links to both the frame and the rear end. I know the kit comes with a piece that bolts onto the third member and has brackets, but if you tossed the crossmember then you most likely fabbed up some new ones. Also, can I see where you put your bags?
