4 link question
Any reason not to put a 4 link rear suspension on the outside of the frame on a square body k10?

Re: 4 link question
Outside parallel 4 links provides the most stability, and inside the frame more articulation.
The longer the arms the more articulation with out a big loss of stability. Triangulated allow more articulation due to lack of pan-hard bar, but packaging is harder. |

Re: 4 link question
It was just to get you to think about what you are buying. Dreams, and reality can live together if you want it to.
You can also just get new leafs with alot more leafs, and have a very nice set up too. That can still articulate very well with long shackles, and be bullet proof. It will not compete with a proper link set up, but it is a 10th the cost. |
