do some research on the Pirate- lots of good info available

 

It can't be done

If you really have to ask such simple questions, you really have to sit down and figure if you really are ready for this....

 

Just slapping on a 4-link isn't as easy as it sounds. Do more research on what others have done. There is so much that you need to understand about how slight changes in suspension geometry will affect your rig under trail conditions.

 

hey thanks for the feed back but if it was so simple y doesnt everyone do it ? im 16yrs old an i have never done any suspension setup like this thats y i was wondering if any one can help me out.

how will the truck be used? trail only? daily driver? all of these things will come into play when doing links. as for the placement of the frame mount. that will depend on how long you want your links. when i finally decide to do mine. i'll try to build my frame mount to also support the x-case and skid plate. my opinion would be to read as much as you can before you even think of cutting things off your truck. there are way too many variables that come into play for someone to just tell you a certain spot to mount things.

 

Thats just a taiste of what needs to go into link placement. You have spring rates that can change how links react. Length, that depends on what link config you run, inverted links, max of 48" or you will easily bend links, and so on and so on...

 

It's not that he meant that it was simple to do, but your question was too simplified. The equipment and knowledge needed to do a proper link system is beyond your scope. Before you even start designing a 4-link you need to know what your truck weighs at each corner, the CG, roll center, etc.....
