4-linking the Bronco
I have some big plans for my Bronco this upcoming summer. Right now it has a 6" Superlift. 3" Black Diamond Body Lift. 15x12 Rims and 44" TSL's. I have a Sterling 10.25" rear end and a Dana 44 front end (SAS last summer). Please no comment on the 44's on a Dana 44. My truck is a daily driver street truck that I just keep nice and enjoy having. The 44 has held up fine on the street and was worth the $150 as opposed to the $1500 to rebuild and have a D60. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can maybe get some coilovers? I want to try and do a 4-link with coilovers front and rear. Are there any 4-link kits for my truck or maybe one that i can fab to my truck. I think Fabritech makes one but I've told that it's Fabricrap for what it costs. Anything out there cheaper than King Coilovers? If not is there anyway I could do coils front and rear? Could I set up the rear with two heimed radius arms and a track bar like the front? Just ideas... Anyone got any thoughts?

there are a couple of threads on 4 links in the past day but if you are not wanting to go to that extreme, you can build the ladder bar with coils like I did for the rear I used 6" lift coils out of a bronco II, and the coil buckets from the front of a 92 exploder, and built my own ladder bars using tractor top link joints from the tractor parts store. here a link to a pick of it when it was still in the works.

no like I said that picture was while it was still in the works, I should go out and take another pic of it as it is now with the shocks and drive shaft, and all in it. but I will tell you the shocks are set up with the top in the hole on the coil buckets, and I built a bracket for the bottom.

Don't mean to sound like an *** but why do you want to 4 link a truck that only sees pavement anyway? If you've already got a lift that clears your tires I can't see the point . . . but maybe that's just me.
Fox and plenty of other companies make coil overs too if you want to go that bling.
