So there I was... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So there I was about an hour ago talking to my father on the phone from here in Afghanistan about what I want to accomplish on "Project Heaven" when I finally get home. I told him that I am moving the fuel cell to the rear and I have to replace my rearend...Then he said well hell if the bed is off and you have to do that you might as well do a 4-Link Suspension setup on it!

The more I milled this over the more I thought..."you know, he might be onto something...."

OK, so here it is(for those of you who dont know)...Project Heaven is a 67 SWB, lowered 3 in front and 5 in rear (with springs), on the back is going to sit a 96 SWB stepside bed that has alot of custom work done to it. I will pick it up from body shop when I go home from R&R.

What I want to do is a 4 link setup on the rear....

Questions: Where to get a kit? Anyone got any pics of doing one on their truck? Tips or Lessons learned? Let me know....

I would like to keep coils. I just want a more reliable/better performing rear suspension setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated....
