starting my sas 3 link with coilovers, have a few question

[hillbennerdeluxe]

3 link to 4 link to me is how can i be different n do something no one has done or done often.

 

[TylerZ281500]

gotcha, as long as you do it right t wperform just as well as a 4 link, most people go four because of ease a 3 link is a pbit trickier and can be easily messed up

i did get some work done on the rear of the truck this week tho, i got my 14 bolt sf in, still need to find a donor axle for the disc brake conversion. didnt get any assembly pics it was pretty straight forward and im sure uve all seen them 100 times lol excuse the mess in my shop its been a hectic week with all the shop projects going on

here she sits with the 14 bolt in with 4" block and 3" body on 265s. the original plan was to run 37s on my 22s but with as much money as ive spent doin the swap i dont think new tires for 22s would be possible this year. a buddy of mine came across the solution to my problems for half the price of new 37s, i picked up some 40x15.50x20 on brand new wheels. there a bit bigger than i had planned but oh well whats a few more inches lmao.

well i guess you can fit 40s on 7" of lift lol. not a big fan of the stuffed look, sooo i got some 6" springs and shackle flip kit from another project truck of mine. and again i was in such a hurry to get it done i forgot to take pics except for the finished product

more than likely gonna be buying new wheels after the trucks rolling tho, im not a huge fan of tall trucks tucking tire they look tippy to me with 15" wide tires hiding under the box lol. sooo hopefully there will be a set of 20x14s gettin thrown on in the near future then these wheels will be for sale if anyones interested.

Does anyone know if the transmission crossmember would be a strong enough point to hold the lower links?

 

[TylerZ281500]

make a new crossmember, simple answer dont put it there unless your building a stronger crossmember.

thats what i thought but wasnt sure so i thought id ask...thanks

Bgrnchvy did a write up on that I think. He said the only way to mount to the stock one is if you brace the crap out of it. It's not strong enough to keep from twisting. So I would just build a new beefy one IMO

i know the older factory ones crack because of the load on the torsoin bars and keys.
