how does this fit in?

im new here. im sorry. i run toyotas. that i guess is good. but after what i have done to my toyotas, well, that could be bad. dana 60, dana70, 454, 4L80e, atlas4sp. not alot of toy left, im afraid. problem is my rear driveshaft was binding, (wrecked truck, have replacement). now im thinkin bout 4 link. anyone got a line on a site that doesnt speak greek, and can explain the fundamentals.

how to fit 4 link

i was a bit unclear i guess. info on the 4 link is what im after. new truck is a 91 regular cab pickup. i figure if i link the rear it will give me a better driveline angle by stretching the wheelbase a bit. problem is i failed math every year. i need a connection that can take the guess work out figuring angles and their relationship to the geometery of the suspension design. i try to do all my own work, but dont want to bugger this up.

Linking the rear is probably not the easiest way of stretching your wheelbase. How about you put longer springs on it and move the rear shackle hanger back a bit. Problem solved.
