Default bolt in KP components 4-link

have any of you guys used this setup i am thinking of doing this on my truck i will have to run coil-overs what type would you recommend i was thinking of a set of qa1s and this setup comes with a panhard rod theres some welding to do on it but not that much it looks like a bolt on kit probably going to do this when the 6.0 comes in to play and traction is a problem

the bars are somewhat small compared to other companies out there, but they are one of the only bolt on, without making it bolt on yourself kits.

I have the kit on my 04 GMC and its been great so far.I am also using the rear bolt-on Cantilever with air bags.I dont have the traction problems I had with the stock leaf springs.Have not been back to the track with it yet to see what improvement it made.My kit was a total bolt-in.I didnt have to weld anything.

Only suggestion I have is to grease the poly bushings with lube.No where in the instructions does it include this step.

I had a friend put in mine a couple years ago, along with a set of QA1 coil-overs. I'm still experimenting with springs, trying to get it to ride the best. Traction has never really been a problem for me, but with the right tire and track prep, most people wont have traction problems at our power levels.

Chassis Engineering around $1200 w/ qa1 coilovers included, some welding required. Not a bad deal if you ask me. eventually I'll be going this route.

What can be done about sway bars for street use or does the four-link (+1) take car of the twisting movement also?
