Just finished my buddies front 4 link today,
1987 F150, efi 302, T18, NP208, 4-linked D44 with drive flanges 4.10 front with 6" lift Deaver coils, 4-linked D60 FF welded 4.10 rear with 2wd jeep Cherokee coils. I gave him the axles out of my '79 250. Tires are 46x16.1 ags on 16x16 re-drilled tractor rims. Pictures, then video to follow. Its obviously not done yet.

We built our own links with Johnny Joints and leaf spring bushings.


Rear almost complete the night before the Durhamtown Plantation trip


At DP


Rear view


Front clearance test


Then we bet a case on follow the leader. There was no winner.

the only thing more scary than knowing you built one truck is seeing pics of ANOTHER truck youve put your grimey little paws on.

Just got this far today. Still need to buy LED tail lights, fog lights, add a couple gussets and build bumpers. We recessed 3 tool boxes and a 22 gallon fuel cell. Also ended up trimming 8" off the frame. Hope you idiots are enjoying the cold up there! Leaves on the trees and 80 degrees here this weekend.
