---------------------------------------------Originally posted by TwistedMinisNice Satchell Link.---------------------------------------------Gracias, I just call it a triangulated 4 link with the lower bars triangulated to save the discussion and explaination of what a satchel link setup is and does.

I sent you a message about it. Just some stuff I have run into when using them. Also another after the fact though, you may want to box in the lower link tabs. Way more stress on them than normal.

Thanks Seth for the PM. The crossmember with the pivots is tacked in (just like all of the 4-link components) and will be coming out of the truck after I get the cylinder mounts done. I will be pulling it to completly weld the tabs, along with plating in the tabs. I will also be doing the same thing on the axle. The lower pivots hang down quite a bit and will need plating as well. Everything is just tacked in place to cycle the suspension, make sure everything clears, make sure it cycles properly, and get the cylinder mounts done. Like I said, once all that is done, all of it will be coming out to get welded. The crossmember will get repositioned and fully welded to the frame after the pivots are done. As well as the crossmember will be getting at least one diag. tube from the pivots to the frame to stiffen up the crossmember.

Very nice Jeremy i just did a similar setup on Brown Bag Special and it performs great and keeps floor low as well....

Yep, the only difference is I used heims on all ends with straight bars so it could be adjusted if needed. Must have been nice to do it on a truck where you can take the bed off. SUV's suck to work on. Climbing in the back, crawling under the truck, ect.   Well anyway, updates. I got the cylinders mounts in. There is a pic of it all the way up, all the way down, and hitting a side bigger than the fenders will allow once they are in.

The cylinders are mounted upside down using the threaded sleeves and bushings that are available through hydroholics.net.
