Could it be done?
I was wondering if I could run a rear suspension set-up like N2TRUX with a 465 horse motor. I know it would cause bad axel wrap but I was thinking that I could run a set of traction bars under the leafs to help prevent this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Re: Could it be done?
If you really are making that kind of power, and intend to use it, you would be better-off with some ladder bars mounted inside the frame. With that many leaves removed you will have severe wrap problems and wheel hop. Slapper type bars are not the greatest thing anyway, plus they will hang really low on that type of a set-up. Ladder bars and housing floaters are the economical way to get what you need.

If you're looking to put some serious HP to the ground, I'd look into a custom 4-link setup with coilovers.

Does anyone know where I could find either a bolt on or weld on 4-link for fairly cheap?

Putting a set off Ladder bars in the frame is pretty easy to do. You could go with a Shockwave bag.
