I drank the Kingpin koolaid
Has anybody 4-linked their truck on here? I've been considering doing a SAS but instead of doing leaf springs up front, i though about 4 linking it as well as the rear? yay or nay?

I am in the darkness on this one. Please shed light on the term "4-link"
I have heard people mention it, but don't know what it is....
I DO know what SAS is and that is awesome enough, haha
Id say go for it... But it would cost you alot more. coil over for the front would have to be huge for them to work good. I 4 linked the back of my truck. Havent got to try it out yet, but it is a nice install for sure. Im assuming a 4 link for a 4x4 would be double or tripple the cost...
A 4-link is basically ditching the whole leaf spring thing and instead of using leaf springs to align the axle, you use 4 links that attach to it and are attached to the frame. usually 2 are on the outside and 2 on the inside, since it eliminates leaf springs, you have to use coil over shocks instead of leafs.
its much simpler than a leaf spring kit, and alot cheaper, but the coil-overs cost an arm and a leg.

- In the front the frame was cut, notched, reinforced and Boxed in to clear the front tires at full stuff/lock.

- In the Center, the frame was Boxed and Sleeved to support a custom cross member built for mounting the front lower links (fully removable for easy access for transmission/t-case removal or maint.)
- Both the front and rear "bumper mounts" on the frame were clipped off and boxed to provide a solid mounting plate for the tube bumpers that you see...(More tubing to come in the future)
