I just looked them up on the web hoping to be able to help you and the only thing I could find out is to "stay away from these guys". With a few exceptions most people where not happy and could not get customer service or return/refund for bad/poor quality parts. Based on what I just read make sure it will hold up to how you want to use it.

Good Luck.

After spending a couple of hours on the net I finally found this site. The picture is helpful and the instructions look easy to fallow. I will be modifing the rear end a little. The rear end going in is out of a 1980 Pontiac trans am posi traction, 3.28 gears, disc brakes. I will not be using the spings, instead air bags. I will send pictures of the progress. Here is the web site for anyone interested in future help.

Thanks Tim

From the picture on the site that looks exactly like the TCI 4link I installed on my truck. You should go to TCI's site and look at their instructions it may help clarify a few things.
