Default 4-link Parts List

Hey guys,

Im wanting to utilize the KP components bolt in 4-link kit with the use of QA1 coilovers for my 02 silverado. I would like to know if anyone could give some advice on what parts I would exactly need to complete this. Im basically wanting to end up with a 6" drop with everything said and done.

Also, since the leafs will be removed, this would allow me to use a wider tire before hitting the leaf spring right?... Cause Id like to possibly do a mini tub as well.

Let me know, thanks!

Won't allow much wider, and why use the KP kit? There is better, stronger and more performance oriented link setups than KP's kit, I assume just because it bolts on?

KP is the last thing I would use on anything performance oriented, there just not built strong enough

Chris Alston ChassisWorks get there kit. But the way it gets setup depends on what you want to do with your truck. There's a lot more than just welding on a 4link kit to make it perform to it's fullest, if you want a 4link just for everyday and nothing crazy when it comes too performance and all out drag racing, suicidedoors makes a beefy kit, I ran their link on my frame (click my link under sig) but now I'm changing a few things up.

yeah, the majority of 4 link kits out for our trucks are made for use with air suspension and don't have racing in mind. You may be better off piecing a kit together with some strong components.
