Which 4 link

Hello all, just wondering who is using a 4 link rear and what brand? I am doing a 57 and wondering what 4 link set up to use. Thanks!

Re: Which 4 link

Thanks..

Plans for the truck are just a nice cruiser/driver. The front end is a second gen Camaro. The reason for a 4 link is the thought that the motor I have for it is a 450 hp 383 stroker and the power would be best utilized by a 4 link. Am I wrong? As for first post Orge, you have to start somewhere right? Sorry if I offended anyone by this being my first post...

Re: Which 4 link

other than you spell ogre like someone else here, no problems
just need to know what your truck setup and needs are to recommend much
many ways to get power to the rear wheels, all depends on what your budget is
to keep my budget down my truk is on stock springs with a flipped axle, which will get approx 7'' lower
keep in mind that unless you have some serious wide tires and move some weight around
these trucks are very light, very front heavy and do not hook up well, truk turns tires a lot
which is fine
