The DL on SD 5-link???

can anyone tell me some pros and cons bout the SD 5 link system??...

any information would help....

thanx...

its expensive is a con

works good is a pro

hahah... thanx....

Eric (Little Shop of Horrors) asked me today if he could put it on my truck instead of a reverse 4-link w/ no extra charge to me...

i was just wondering if i should do it...

its a good setup.. but some trucks have problems with wheels rubbing on bed sides b/c not all s10's are squared in the frame.. at full height, it likes to sway on the highway.. i dont really know of too many pros/cons, its price is better then the roadgrater or KP.. i dont personally own it, but have drove a friends truck with it on it across country.

i'd go with it over a reverse 4 though.

SD 5 link is Cash... Go for it...

mine has been worth the money all the way. Little to no maintence. I haven't noticed it sway on the highway and I drive mine 80 - 90 miles a day on the highway.

Shocks interfere with the gastank slightly on some trucks. If you have a metal tank, no biggy, just massage it a little to clear. With the plastic tank, its gonna take some trial and error to get the shock bar in a spot where interference is minimal. The one we just finished just barely touches the plastic tank at max lift.
The kit IMO is much better then any of the 'similar kits' (roadgrater, KP 6 Link, Air Lift Gen 2). The parts are beefier, the lower bars are shorter to maintain proper pinion angle, everything fits together nice, its a straight forward install, the real important shit is all still weld on (notch, axle tabs, shock bar) and it comes with a gas tank crossmember to raise the tank. Its kinda pricey, but compared to other kits i'd say its the best bang for the buck.
If it were me though, I'd save the money on parts and spend it on labour to have something custom, rather then a kit, since u are paying for install anyways. Just not a reverse 4.
