how would you gusset it? would you need one on each bend or just the out side of the bar?


too bad the gas tank is in the way or a person could do a triangulated 4 link. it would be easy, just leave the bottom bars alone and triangulate the upper bars and ditch the pan hard. hell the frame is already completely boxed so welding points would be easy to find.

 

found this too. http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=335&page=1

was thinking something like this.

 

Build your own rear diff cover and incorporate a Watts Link.

 

When I put the Hotchkis sway bars on, it really helped with the nose dive when braking and huge squat when leaving under heavy throttle. It helped a ton with body roll at highway speeds too. Around town, it still feels like a large SUV though, still a good amount of body roll in sharp turns, but not as much.

SuperSub: The trailing arms sound like a good addition though, I am going to look into those. You said they stiffen the ride up, so is it still comfortable over rough roads (I live in Houston where road construction is always going on)? I don't want it to be too stiff, like I think it might be with lowering springs.

 

i actually found a company that makes a watts link for our trucks. the only issue is they don't make them for a 14bolt for some reason. 10bolt and 12bolt.

 

where are some good links to build a watts link?

It seems like it would be a pretty simple fabrication to build one yourself.
