4link rear end?

I am wanting to get the back of my truck to sit about 4in lower. I have seen parts for hanger/shackle drops, as well as leaf drops...but i am looking to get a coil-over 4link for the rear and have not found one yet... dose anyone have a suggestion? Also some info on the diffaculty for c-notching/parts also? Thanks for any helpful ideas.

That would be a nice setup , I used a shackle , hanger and removed the helper spring and lowered the back 5 inches , did not have to notch or change pinion angle on my stock dana 44 , are you running a 9inch ? What motor and tranny? I think you can buy a 4 link kit and weld it in , dont know where though .

I seem to remember a post from Psquared saying he was doing something like this. It was a week or 2 ago maybe and I seem to remember seeing a pic in his post. Maybe a search will come up with the thread.
