Default Looking in to building a 4 link!!! Any thoughts??? Please Help!!!

I am having severe traction problems. On the back I have 18x9.5" Boyd Coddington's with 295/45's. I think this will help me tremendously. What coilovers and supplies am I going to need or anyone would recommend? Also, does anyone know of a thread that can show me step by step build? I know I can do everything. I am just worried about getting the pinion angle and brackets straight and aligned right. Any info would be helpful!!!

Have you check out my build, or any of the other guys? Pick up some chassis books and start reading, I have over a year in my suspension design, but that was because I went full chassis

with your mods, i would recommend a better tire, and check the pinion angle. step up to a nitto 555r and your traction issues should be taken care of for the most part. hoosiers for the track.

Will do. Thanks a lot. You have yourself a really nice build there. I really wish I had that much patience.

The tires that I have on there right now are brand new. I really like them. I really want to start a project. I just really want to build a 4 link. This is just a project truck and not my DD. Pinion angle is good. I am about to start building a 6.0 and I want everything done next year when I swap it in.
