Default 4 link with coilovers in all 4 corners

So after about a year of thinking about it i finally decided to 4 link my truck to help with ride quality ,traction and wheel hop, i spent many night measuring and thinking about the perect design and once i had everything on paper i had all the brackets cut out on a water jet and i ordered the bars from thorbecke brothers and the coilovers from ridetech once everything came in it took us 3 days to finish the project, im still adjusting the rebound for the perfet ride but let me say it was well worth it and im glad i did it

Damn man you made that look easy. Why wouldn't you do that in the inside of the frame so you can fit a bigger tire

This is amazing work! Well done! Keeping the coils outboard of the frame is key. I 4-linked my truck with the coils inboard and it rode very poorly. Someday I'll redo mine like you have done.

i wanted to keep the coils out as far as possible for the best handling plus the gas tank would have had to be moved and im not ready for all of that yet but maybe in the future to help with weight distribution

Thats neat. How does it ride and did it solve any traction issues? If and when i 4 link i would do exactly what you did. Why streetruck.
