Negative, you use the canti set up with air bags, thats it. If you want to run a four link with coil over set up you can just buy the 4-link kit without the canti attachment and weld the coil overs in. The 4 link is a nice set up because its all bolt on.

 

Bingo!

 

Thanks full size.

Glad you brought this back up Grip.

 

For the 4-link coil over setup. Does anyone have opinions on what #spring to use? I think it depends on the front/rear weight ratio, but I never figured it out when I was searching 3-4 months ago.

 

Also, how would you determine a shock length? You would have to base it on how much of a "drop" you would want in the back, right? Like, for instance, if you had a 2" or 3" drop up front, how would you be able to determine what length shock you would need for the rear to equal out the stance? With the 4-link, are you pretty much completely dependent on the coilovers to handle the weight of the rear? I know a stepside bed doesn't weigh much, but what coilovers(for instance QA1s) would you need to go with in a truck application?
Also, what SportSide 5.3 asked.

 

I've had this kit on my truck for about 9 months now.

This is what it looks like installed.


It can be used for bags or coilovers, but as mentioned above, if you go with coil overs the canti part of it would more than likely be useless. The point of the canti is to give the truck more lift (2:1 ratio) and a better ride since you can ride in the back with very little air pressure. After installing this kit my truck rides way better than when I had a flip kit and leaf springs, less wheel hop too that i've noticed from the few times i've gotten on it.

The best part of this kit is that it all bolted on in a few hours

There is one guy on GMFS (i think he is a member here too) running this kit (just the front 4-link) with a custom fabbed coil over bracket in the back. I'll see if I can find a post for you guys to read by him.

 

here is the post:

Here it his setup:

 

i have that setup on my truck with what is comomly known as "2600" firestone airbags. with the canti atachment the truck rides better than anything else ive ever rode in. also the way i have my valves (8 instead of 4) the truck handles extremely well. my only downside is that some dragstrips dont like airbaged vehicles.

 

I'm worried about modifying that damn panhard bar to fit with the coil-overs.

 

that shouldn't be to hard of a thing I wouldn't think....
