All depends on what you are doing or want to be doing better with the truck on a daily/ weekend basis.

Rock crawling?? 4 link is the best way to get some suspention articulation, leaf springs can be modded into an ok set up but nothing beats a 3 or 4 link.

Google a "grader ball" if you want cheap homemade. A home made 4 link is a waste of time and money of not done correctily, IMO.

Stop on by the off Road & 4x4 forum section and get to a little more info, but have you flame proof suit zipped up when you go in there, lol. They are a little...well...you will see.

The off road forum is not that bad, there are great moderators there who

Keep things (people) in line.

They do know their Ford 4x stuff, especially swaps and what works in the

Real world. The FTE off road forum is way less flaming than other

Off road only forums.

I was just giving the newb (no offense H76B) fair warning so he does not get his feeling hurt.

There are some folks in there that make me not want to pull over on the trail and help out, I know you know what I mean.....

H76B here is a little reading to get you going in the right direction.
