4 link

how long should it take me to change my setup to a 4 link if i use the FBImini 4 link kit? more than a day or 2?

it usually takes me 2-3 hours to set up a 4link. almost all of that time is measuring. im pretty anal when it comes to that stuff, so i tinker a lot!

but it really depends on your current setup.

sounds like you have made up your mind but we have a new economy link kit for $199.....our 4 links come with a lifetime warranty......also have alot of other kits....check us out.....

theres a few pictures on my profile, its a 2 link with the link bars u-bolted to the rearend and the sway bar, well the sway bar is made of shitty pipe that has broken once, i didnt do it but im not gonna get into that one

mike, do the kits come with set up plans?

none do bro. but its pretty simple.
1) set your pinion angle at ride height. it is equal and opposite to your tranny angle. ie if your tranny pionts down 3 deg, your pinion angle should be up 3 deg.

2) have the bars triagulate at around a 30-40 degree angle. either away or toward each other is fine

3) have lower bars level to the ground at ride height (or half trvel if you get like 10+ inches of lift)

4) set instant center to be around your grille. basically have your upper bars angled down about 2-3 degrees when your lower bars are level.

thats about it. make sure your rear end is centered and your wheel base is set correcdtly. dont want it cocked to the side or too far forward or aft!

4 links can be itimidating! but after you get the basics down, they arent that big a deal at all.

for more pointers look at bio max's 4 link article thats a sticky in the suspension forum.

good luck bro!

maybe i shouldve looked at that first huh? thanks for all the help, im not too scared to do it, i just didnt want to be stuck without my truck for too long
