Lol..... One of us extended cab guys need to try this setup... I don't wanna be the $1K test dummy lol....

 

Someone that has't modded yet ??

Finally got my slips scanned:

Anybody really, but someone making some good power would be ideal.

It seems like past ~450rwhp is when the extended cab guys run into real issues with the leafs. Mines no longer a DD so I don't have to worry about the coilovers hindering towing etc...

 

Lol...me neither. You could probably get decent money for it though if it didn't work and you sold it on gmfullsize.

 

logging off....


lol...

 

I wonder if there are any of these floating around used.... :hmm:

 

Occasionally they surface, but they're usually in 6-link form with the whole bag setup. They usually new too and not much cheaper than from kp components.

I'm thinking of using the front portion of the leaf spring as the upper link and modifying my caltracs to attach to the frame in a few spots to form the lower link. This essentially would form a 4-link for pretty cheap. Only the rear of the leafspring is actually a spring. The front portion just locates.

 

Well I've already got longbars that extend to where the cab/bed meet so I could probably just remove the leafs, add coilovers, and add another top bar...

I just looked and the whole 4-link is 715 from KP, but doesn't include a centering link, a panhard or watts link setup wold still be needed... Along with coilovers.

 

You guys go for it. Might just work and it is a lot cheaper.

A friend is putting a 5.3 in a S-10 and made his own set up. I will get some pics and post.
