4 link question...
I wana do a triangulated 4 link on my truck 2wheel drive 1978 well i have a question here about it... ive seen triangulated 4 links done alota different ways.... but my question is should the lower bar be parralell with the frame rails or should it be angled? i was gona have the upper bars goin off the pumpkin and go outward should there be a specific angle i should try to shoot for or will anything go? i also heard the lower bars should be about 70% of the upper bars... again is that true?
Ill be using some DOM tubing not sure of the size yet mabey 1.25 or 1.50 not exactly sure on what thickness i should go with yet... and the brackets are gona be all made from 3/8th steel.. not exactly sure if i will use heims or bushings.. im kinda going twords the bushings more cause i heard the heims will tend to kill themselfs.
Any input on any of this will be greatly apreciated! thanks ahead of time!
oh yeah i will be doing coil over with this.. the main pourpose is a daily driver street truck BUT NOT SLAMED!

Contact Ballistic Fabrication. They've got everything you'll need.. brackets, bungs, & Heims. I recommend at least 3/16 wall DOM for the link bars.
Uppers should be split at 30 degrees or more from centerline. Why don't you use an adjustable front mount for the lower links?
