I need help finding the right triangulated 4-link kit

I'm getting to the point on my project I need to find a decent priced triangulated 4-link kit to do my rear suspension ( I'll be using a ford 9" incase that makes a difference). I'm getting ready to pull my cab and bed back off so I can do all the frame modification all at once because I have to trailer my truck 25 miles to the shop I use for fab work. I have the jag IFS all stripped and ready to be installed and I was hoping to get some good direction on where to buy a decent triangulated 4 link kit. There are so many on the market ranging from $180-$500 (without shocks/bags) I would like to find one for a decent price as I'm just a young broke kid trying to build a hot rod! Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Thanks guys!

4 link

since u are working at a fab shop, why can't u make your own.. when i built my bucket i did mine and worked very well.. made it ALOT easier to do full alignment. i used the 2 horz bars on ea side with heim joints ea end. of course u will need a left hand thread tap too.

I used the same kit ax posted and i also bought their sway bar kit. I dont know why you would want to stay away from welder series. You weld the stuff together your self and all the part are laser cut and very precise.

Used welderseries as well and would do it again tomorrow if I had to build another. Mines on a 9" as well - from a Versailles. Also used the sway kit mentioned by Nick.

Right on, thanks guys! That looks like what I need and at a decent price too!

The only reason someone probably talks down a weld in kit of any kind is there welding or geometry wasn't up to par on the install. Just like all of us men have said on one occasion or another ," this kit doesn't even fit right what a piece of Sh**!" When really it was our own misunderstanding of the application or instructions!

They have excellent instructions and even videos on how to install their products. I have no idea why anyone would say to stay away from their products unless they don't follow directions and then complain when it doesn't work out.

You may be thinking of Welder Joe?
