Wishbone setup?
does anyone have any pics of this setup installed? and is there a good reason I should not use it on a 90 suburban?

Re: Wishbone setup?
no pics but the only reason i can think not to use one is that it will take up more room in the back. i would think and underslung frame and parallel 4 link would take up a little less room.

Re: Wishbone setup?
Take a look at this post- LINK
FYI- Search is working and a got several good hits off of "Wishbone". As mentioned a 3 link or "wishbone" system is going to be very obtrusive in the rear of your burb. You would be able to maintain a much more functional interior with a 2 or 4 link and a panhard or Watts link.

Re: Wishbone setup?
does anyone make a 2 link kit that bolt to your stock hangers in the front and go straight back to the rear, and then just use a panhard setup?

Re: Wishbone setup?
You can always put the wishbone on the bottom side of the axle, or run a Satchell link. Or a parallel 3-link with a panhard bar would work well, and can be built to be very unobtrusive to the rear floor area.

Re: Wishbone setup?
Seth,
What is a Satchell link? Do you have a pic of one? Thanks,

Re: Wishbone setup?
what makes that any different than a double triangulated 4 link?

Re: Wishbone setup?
the upper bars are straight, rather than triangulated...

Re: Wishbone setup?
A double triangulated 4-link is also not a good idea on a street driven vehicle.

Re: Wishbone setup?
I would prefer if you did a search on that one. You can probably search my posts. I have already made a few posts about the double triangulated 4-link.
In a nutshell, it's not stable and is unpredictable for a street application.

Re: Wishbone setup?
Are those shocks mounted to the lower bars that attach by the bag?
