Yup I have four other 4x4s. Wanted something to put my 429 super cj in that handled so I put the front suspension out of a cougar in the front and am planning a triangulated 4 link in the link in the rear and a four speed. The original 4x4 stuff went into a 56

Kind of two on the bottom r straight to the front. Two on the top r angled to the center and run to the front also. The angled two erase the need for a panard bar

i agree,if u can do the fabrication work to put the front in ,then u should b able to do the rear with no prblem.I havent had much experience with 3 or 4 link suspensions.Ive done alot of lifts,lowers,straight axel swaps just havent had anyone wanting a link suspension done.so when u do it post some pics.i really dont think it will be hard.

I've never done one but we will see. I will post some pics soon of past builds. I've done a few v8 rangers and other stuff. Even built a break in stand last week that folds up and stores on the wall.

I think that if you have any fabrication skills at all your possibilities are endless.Awelder told be one time u if u mess up a peice of steel u have no bussiness around a welder lol.So I say go for it .The worst thing that could happen is u might make some errors but those errors can later b used for other projects.
