1953 1 1/2 ton rear air suspension
 
Hello, I was wondering if any one knows of a prebuilt 4 link set up that's a weld in or bolt in? I'm wanting to be able to put air ride on the back, and it bee to be strong enought to handle being a car hauler/tow hauler. Any info would be great thanks

I got my 4 link from Custom Connection. It is 1.5 DOM .25 wall and all the tabs/brackets are .25 thick as well.

The bag positioning would be more important though. You would want bag over axle not bag on bar.

What kind of truck did you put the system on?

Its not on yet. I have a C20 3/4 ton. I ended up switching plans and am switching to 1/2 ton but since I am going to go with a turbo LS I figured the heavy duty suspension couldn't hurt.

I have seen people run 4 2600 bags over axle on a dually set up.
