Here some pics of the 4link upgrade :-)

here some pics of my triangulated 4link installation on my chey 51.

Still got to do the installation of the air bags...

and i have no clew how to get the exhaust done...

I think there is no way to get the pipes behind the axle...

What do you think about a dropped exhaust ?=?????

On the pic you see the stance when the truck is dropped on the ground....
On riding height i would not get dropped upper arms ....when welding directly to the axle tubes.... furthermore i wouldnt get an angle for at least 40 degrees ..

Re: Here some pics of the 4link upgrade :-)

looks good! as far as exhaust goes, i have mine stopped about 12-18 inches before the axle.

headers/4ft pipe/flowmasters. thats it. as far as dumps go, turn them to the side if any. Any dust on the ground WILL kick up and make a mess pretty easily. so i took mine off because of that
