If you still have the gas tank, you need to think 3-link.

If you can move the tank, then triangulated 4link is the way to go.

yea i kno. im gonna make a fuel cell. but im just shopping around for ideas. i have a machine shop but im new to this 4-link stuff and what is best to use for materials. i saw the trail gear four link kit but its designed specifically for how they think your truck should perform offroad. there isnt any room for adjustment.

Yeah, and talking to someone who has one, the way they think your truck should perform ain't that great.

In the interest of weight, I would go with either solid aluminum 7075-T6 or tubular cromoly links.
