I looked for a thread on this and did not find one, I have recently traded for a unfinished 87 extra cab. it has 1/2 ton chevy axles under it. The rear end is a 4 link setup with half leaf packs flipped upside down. The guy sold the shackles that mount on the rear of the front springs. I am just curious if anyone has any experince on these before i waste steel lol. Mainly worried about pinion angles etc. Is there a certain design that would be better than others? Ive had an 85 4runner and I have an ifs truck so its all new. The truck has about 6" of suspension lift. Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome, also does anyone know of a good way to build a fuel cell? Looking forward to being able to wheel it this comming spring if all goes well. Thanks for any answers and input!

 

pictures? why would there be links and leaf packs?

 

ive only got one right now and you really cant tell anything, i have no idea Ive always seen coils on it. Soooo im boggled about where to start on it. i can post the one pic i have though

 

I believe we are going to require pics.

Fixed.

thanks but you cant tell much at all lol

 

Yeah, that's a tough angle haha.

Cool rig!

 

1/4 elliptical suspension? I'd change it out to coils or air shocks

 

With having a newborn at home and just me working for a while I'm trying to do on tighter than normal budget. Anyone know a good place for affordable coilovers or even just springs? Guess I also need to figure out length etc.

 

It is a 1/4 lip setup with a thrown together link setup. Guess I will just fool with it and improve it,
