If you run one set of bushings it takes alot of the road vibrations and bumps out of your ride. It's going to spend alot of time on the street so that's why I went with one set of bushings. It really doesn't effect it too much

The 4 link turned out great! I'm very happy with it. It can flex remarkably well, when you launch it hard it stays very neutral and looks amazing. And even though the top links are only an inch away from the fuel cell, the links never touch. I'm very happy with it.

It's got more flex, but i don't have 4wheel drive yet so this was as far as I could get it, and yes Prozon, the bed is still blue... get over it lol! It's got pushed to the back burner though so I can get the old dana 44 out of this truck in my ranger. And I'll be getting the 460 for it next month!

I see from the last pic you posted that the rear springs don't look like the red ones you started with. What springs did you end up using?

I got some longer ones for the rear to level out the truck. They were a 6" trail master spring for the 80-96 F-150 but I shortened them to a 4." And prozon, if I was made like money like you I'd already have the engine in there and the specs for you, but some people have to build on a budget!
