Where did you get your 4 link kit from? Got any part numbers? How many pound springs are you running?

I had captions on each picture but it didn't print??? here's the 411. The 4 link kit,coil over mts and Qa1 coilovers are from Autofab. The front 4'' drop crossmember is from S&W Racecars. The frame extensions( half-moons) I fabbed up as well as the 304 stainless fuel cell. The rear is a narrowed Moser 12 bolt 57" wms to wms 4.11 trutrack 31 spline, Wilwood brakes. I found there is no "kit" for these trucks, the front mounting point for the 4 bars are the biggest problem.
Springs are 250 lb based on 1750 lbs rear weight.

How long are the 4 link bars? I was wondering if a truck would take longer ones then a car.

I don't think they need to be any longer but def strong due to the weight of a truck, go with chrome moly heims too. Your attachment points need to be strong also.
