show me your link setups?

[1crazyxterra]

well its time to start workin on the front, after knowing the rear flexes pretty good, so i figured i want the front to flex just as much. i just picked up a high pinion dana 44 full width, and i wanted to run a link setup like how the jeeps have it (2 radius arms then 2 arms off of the lower arms and a track bar basically) but im just havin a hard time figuring out how long i want them, where to mount them, just the good stuff. im doin coilovers because i can get them for a really good price so i dont have to have a coil mount or anything. so show me any ideas that you have, or do's and donts. thanks

I don't think any of us have a four link front. There are some with radius arms and alot of trucks with three links up front. I bet you could build a triangulated four link for the front with less trouble then a 4 link/trackbar setup.

Three links are great, easier to set up to.

thanks roast beef ryan gee and the king. roast beef thos pics actually really helped me out. what travel are your coil-overs, i was just thinkin about doin a radius arms but now it dosnt look too hard to set up a three link. thanks guys

[roastbeef]

well, there are less parts, but that just makes for a smaller margin of error. "the king" actually built my truck, nd he has built several other trucks, so he's got the link setups down.

they are 14" 2.5 kings. 200lb on top of 250lb springs.
