Anyone running KP Components 4 link - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

f.monroe · 01-31-2013, 07:23 PM

Anyone on here running their bolt on 4 link? If so how do you like it? I notice that the link bars attach forward of the axle mounts and Ride Tech's seem to mount above and below the axle. Would the longer bars in te ART kit give any advantage ?
Thanks
Frank

The longer the bars the better but I can't remember why.

The longer the bars the more travel the smoother the ride was what i was always told.Between the two kits i like the ride tech one better just because it has less parts.Both are good designs from known companies the kp links will lay frame with the right notch the ride tech won't tho.If you want a 3rd option http://www.azproperformance.com/Port...eluxe-Kit.html

So was your truck a leaf spring truck or a trailing arm truck? Would this 4-link do away with the trailing arms. Sorry for the newb questions but im just getting started in the c10 world.

cdog the 73-87 trucks have leaf springs,But on a older truck like 72 back https://www.cachassisworks.com/c-1204-gm-c10-67-72.aspx or http://www.azproperformance.com/Port...ropmember.html has a 4 link option too.

86 SWB had a leaf setup, does away with everything but the axle housing, and yes it is designed to lay frame just not with my notch. I chose my setup because I love the way the the cantilever hangs from the rear
