Bagged 65 4 link help

[greengrenade]

Hey guys, im doing fab work on my buddys 65. Accuair e level, eventual lq9/t56 swap. We have ss re7 bags going on all 4 corners, plan was to go tri 4 link but i dont think i have enough room to get the right angle in the upper links. I can shorten the links to get more angle but dont wanna go too short, i wanted to go bag on bar outside the framerail with the lowers. Im debating just running this as a parallel and adding a panhard bar. From what ive read i can still go bag on bar outside the framerails with the lower and run the uppers parallel inside the framerails ? Can i still run the uppers shorter than the lowers in a parallel ? In the research ive done i dont see any issues with it. Any advice is appreciated. Heres a few pics

Gorgeous truck. You can flip your four link and build a bridge to mount the bars over the differential. Your roll center will change with height but I dont know if you would ever really notice.

I am running my four link the way you are describing. I build a crossmember to mount all my link tabs and am running the upper bars on the inside and lower bars on the outside.

Do you think id have any issue running a shorter upper link than a lower ?

[tinydb84]

It will change the angle of your pinion through out the travel. If you plan on riding at different heights (as opposed to just laying out when you park) then I probably wouldnt do it.

I know the pinion will change, it does that with a triangulated setup as well with shorter upper links, but if its setup properly it should only change about 1 degree through its range of motion

Very true. I did mine the same length. I didnt have any problem fitting them.

4 link im doing right now.

Nice work man. Looks like a sweet setup !! Does anyone have pics of a parallel setup wothout the links over top of one another ? Id like to keep it bag on lower bar outside the framerail and run the uppers inside the rails

Depending on how fast I work tomorrow I should have some pics of my rearend mocked up. Here are the pics I took the idea from:

[greengrenade]

We changed the plans, decided on a parallel 4 link, ordered new upper bars, same length as the lowers and have a panhard bar on the way as well.

I forgot to post this pic yesterday of my set up

[greengrenade]

Thanks for the pics man, what are you running for lateral stability ?

[tinydb84]

I have a panhard bar. Still mocking stuff up.

[greengrenade]

Cool. Post some pics up as you go if you want

Sub'd want to follow this one along as I get ready (maybe) start working on my chassis.
