Are you running it solid mounted?

Did you notice the bushings on either end of the crossmember?

Maybe I'm just tired, but have you gotten the new 4 link on yet? I'm embarking on my fourth bagged truck and the bag on bar is the only way to go. You can probably run a 37" bar on that longbed setup, with the Slam Specialties RE7 bag you'll get more than enough lift to haul your boat and it'll ride like a caddy.

3 weeks, a fourlink calculator, overstressed with what life served me lately, and now out of a bad month, i finally got somewhere
The fourlink design is set in stone and final, should be exactly what i need.  Got 5 hours at my work alone to make parts, so i started to make all my hangers etc..


the only problem is i wasnt able to use the laser for them, and the hardest ones are the axle mount ones.
P.s the big hangers arnt finished, i still have some trussing to do

Ill have more done by the weekend, hopefully have it all linked and start on the Watts panhard

im getting better with the welder day by day


Coolest part:

Really nice work. You should have made templates of all the parts with your skills you could make some up and resale them. Make you a buck off them.

haha, i had templates for everything. problem is, when making a 4-link it is all vehicle specific, weight, center of gravity, roll center, ride hight, all have to be taken into account.. but my brother and i just picked up a job to make a pre-runner fully caged out of a 2009 chevy 1500, so that will be fun
