Default kp components 6 link?

been looking at the kp components 6link, and was wondering how well that performs with the watts link. i like to corner and would also like to get rid of the wheel hop. also can you run a rear sway bar with the 6 link?

From the people that I have talked to that have them they love them. I think you can still run a sway bar but not 100% sure.

What are you trying to do? Bag it? If you're going to bag it then the bolt on 6 link is great.. If your trying to do a coilover setup then just buy the bolt on 4 link and watts and weld on some tabs for the coilovers.

If you want strictly performance, don't fully bag it IMO.

i want a setup that will remove the wheel hop, and will handle really good. i dont really want coils in the rear because i would like to still be able to use the truck to haul stuff hence the bags in the rear.

If you are looking to get rid of wheel hop you should do a true 4-link. The kp kit is nice but, won't control the wheel hop for long with the 5-speed.

I know you're 5 spd., but when I did my Hotchkis 2/4, byebye wheelhop. That coulda been the drop, but it may've been the better susp. components. FWIW, I love my QA1's. How do I find this KP kit? Just curious to see it.
