Spend your $1100 on the Dropmember instead of the PB a-arms.
You can always add the a-arms later.
Better use of your money with much lower results.
Plus you will gain front suspension clearance at ride height and a rack steering setup.

Hell yes you can man, I talked to nate about this before and yes you can and according to him 73 to 87 you don't have to cut the cab or the trans tunnel it would work just fine....thats what I'm doing next with my 73

yep the dropmember is the way to go bro besides looking badass it would center the wheels and narrow your track so you can drive the truck while is low and of course move your wheels up 3 inhes, i have been saving for it for the last couple months is my next thing on my list.......

[luifer76]

the truck looks really good slamed bro you should bagg it.... You'll like the way it looks bagged....

what do you guys think of the kp components rear 4 link setup? seems like it woulod work but it also looks kinda flimsy. has anybody ran this kit? problems? does anyone know if i can "lay out" with this kit? It also says in the ad that axle locators and panhard bar are extra which makes the kit close to 1000$ at that point the 1900 for PB doesnt seem that bad. any input???

I'll come and help you wire power for the tig welder if you build your own 4 link....... just sayn'


Tell me you didn't look at that and think man for $645.00 I can build that ****? I know that its that much more work but Ive seen some bad a$$ stuff that you have built for other people, and me personally would love to see you build your own setup!

Ill repeat the question I have asked you before: "what are you doing with this truck"

almost everyone started out with a nice clean build and then this and then that, and then wtf happened to all my money?

I say you go for it, if it comes out bad (you and I know it wont be) sell that beotch!

im getting pretty damn good at solidworks so i might give it a whirl. i got nothing to lose but a bunch of money and time. haha

I have the kp setup and its good stuff. But. I obviously don't have a comparison. All the boxes say Chris alstons chassis works on the boxes, so I'm assuming his shop makes it or designed it?

im not worried about the fab work as much as the geometry. if i do spend a bunch of time building a fourlink and front arms and it handles like crap, im gonna drive it off a cliff with me in it! or i could just drop a couple "g's" and get porters kit and be on my merry way. Im so confused

[Nobaddaze]

Started Playing on SW and heres a teaser of what ive got in the works

[luifer76]

looks good bro.....how ever you shouldnt have a problem fab a four link specially if you have a lay out and mesurements on how to do it.....

[Nobaddaze]

Im done for the night...

[Nobaddaze]

one more from this mornin...

[mcboomport]

rad! Man, You will feel so much better if you do build it rather than just buying bolt on stuff. But.. The bolt on stuff is rad and had most of the bugs worked out of it though. That may be part of the reason I z'd mine, because I did a bolt in rear kit. But really, it would be simple to make all the brackets if you did want to bolt in your four-link like you are showing here. Take your time. You don't need to be like me and have 3 pairs of rebuilt upper arms laying around...

[bmfpeterson]

That's whats up! see I knew you could make it happen!

can you get dimensions from the member on here that has the rear 4 link you were looking at? Thant might make it easier as far as geometry goes?

it looks like the rear geometry shouldn't be that bad??? as far as the front I would be way lost... at worst you can do the rear yourself and if the front gets out of control you can buy the hard part???

[Nobaddaze]

I definately got more figuring to do. Bridge and panhard bar
is next. I still might do PB arms up front. One task at a time

Got a small update...Been working on getting the geometry of my four link "perfect"

I think im pretty close. Whatcha think???

[Pro Performance]

That looks sweet! Nice work....

[luifer76]

that would be a nice set up for the truck man..... looks good.....

[luifer76]

so when are you gonna build that 4 link bro?

[Nobaddaze]

Im finalizing stuff right now, hopefully sending some files to my waterjet guy in the next week. Then start ordering some parts
