i will get more pics soon. the 4-link is a kit i pieced. so far so good. but now i still have wheel hop. im thinking of relocating the shocks to right behind the link on both sides. it seems like the stock shock locations kind of fight each other. any opinions or ideas to get rid of the wheel hop would be great. it was fine at first, now that the bed is on, it hops again.

where did you order your parts?
I've been wanting to 4 link and adjustable coil over mine. I've been talking with Thoerbeke Bros and they have the measurements. I just can't get the air ride kit made for my truck off my mind lol

I had a lot of wheel hop at the track with my KP Comp. four link on my street tires (Toyo). As soon as I swapped to ET street radials at the track, it was gone. I've cut as low as a 1.701 60' with it so far.

Have you thought about doing a quad shock set up like the Mid to late 80's SVO mustangs?

I had a 86 Mercury Capri with that set up, and I never had wheel hop no matter how hard I hit it or what tires or drag radials it had.

I'm doing my math on a 3-link and I'm going to use 4 shocks to make 2 V shapes at the furthest out point I can weld them to.

How heavy is the bed to lift off? I've seen 2 people do it, but how hard did they work?

Are you able to adjust the angle of the upper bar downward? Read through the set-up in this manual, they have some good explanions.
