You should set up everything at HALF TRAVEL!!!

Not ride heidth, you guys are minitruckers ride heidth is about 1.5" from the ground, not the best place to set up a suspension.

Excuse me for being ignorant but what is half travel? And also, would the parallel/watts link be better for performance than the satchell link. thanks

Half travel = full lift in inches/divide by 2

Performance...This gets really hard to explain. Strangely enough a low "roll-center" or the rear of a pickup would be better for handling. The Satchell link would have a lower roll center AND the roll center doesn't move around as it would on a watts-link. Chassis Works has a really bitchin rear clip for "G-machines" that has the watts-link under the third member to get the roll-center lower, but it really limits travel and the roll center still moves around. I would run a Satchell link, limit the travel to about 6" and run some Bilstien shocks if I really wanted a good handling truck.
