Re: 47-54 4 link
Looks ok but it seems to be priced a little high when compared to other kits.

Re: 47-54 4 link
I like the fact that it will not sit below the running broads!

I would make sure it's DOM tubing.

Looks decent but personally, I'm not a big fan of that type of track locater on anything but a drag car. I prefer panhard bar for the street.

For just a little more money you can get this kit from Heidts. Looks like it includes the coil overs plus mount and a panhard bar.

Re: 47-54 4 link
Too me, the length and angle of the locator bar are not conducive to stability where cornering loads are considered. I'm no engineer but the bar is never in compression or extension like a panhard is, but in a combination of those and shear due to the angle. It seems that under higher loads, the bar would have more of a tendency to bend and possibly break(shear) even though it is a triangulated member. I'm also sure there are lots of other opinions and if the truck is never loaded or driven hard, it may never be a problem. I used a Morrison 4 link and it came with a panhard bar. I wanted their triangulated 4 link but they said the frame rails on my 55 were to close together for solid triangulation and would only sell me the panhard. I took what they said to heart.
