narrowed rear frame w/ 2 link

[lester622]

Anybody ever narrow the rear frame rails and use a 2 link? or have any pictures of one? Im going to narrow the rear rails on this chassis im building and don't want to buy a 4 link since I already have the 2 link. I know it can be done with leaf springs. Never seen a picture with a 2 link though, Other than ladder bars on a race car.

Why you narrowing the frame why not just the rear end?

I don't think a 22x12 with very little backspacing will fit under these trucks with just a narrowed rearend. Ive been searching online and havnt come across any information. I figure if I pull both rails in a couple inchs it will make life easier if I ever want to go bigger like say a 14 inch wide rim. I could backhalf the whole thing with square tubing but id like to use the stock suspension mounting points and just run the ekstensive 2 link I have.

Ive seen prostreet trucks where they just narrow the factory rails instead of buying the the 4 link/ladder bar rail kit that jegs sells, but there using the factory leaf springs.

After some measuring looks like itll be easier to put a 4 link on the inside the rails aand get the room im looking for. Maybe that's why I couldn't find any pictures of what I was looking for lol

Yea I was gonna suggest that it will prob still be tight also if you do end up backhalfing the truck I don't think if run the 2 link with all that work

That's how im running my 4 link, I just need to get my coilover set up...

I wanted to use what I already had but I think a 4 link would be easier in this case

Yeah, inside frame should be perfect.. I've 22x10 with four link and it's tight.

Plus a 4 link or triangulated 3 link gives you so much better axle articulation!
