Watts Links

i have installed a few and i really like em it would not be hard to make one and they dont have to be mounted to the chunk as long as they are in the center of the rear end like as to say on some bracket welded to the axle tubes that wrap around the chunk

I built this one for a customers 1/2 ton.

I think im going to go with a watts link?

You could also mount the bell crank from the frame and have the arms going to the rearend. IE: building a brace from side to side that supports the bell crank. Be it round tube, square tube, i-beam, etc... then you don't need to worry about the diffcover.

Take mindliss metals picture. Just imagine the crossmember that holds the bellcrank continuing on till it hit either side of the frame. then instead of the arms mounting to the frame sides they mount off the rearend. same concept just backwards. Plus you could make the center section adjustable in height and dial in your roll center. but thats taking it a little further than it needs to be.

Heres a pic of what he is talking about

Deff. using one on my truck...So it just has to be center of the rearend and the bars equal length? If some one could run it down how it should be??

yep. go center on the rearend on both width and height. Bars should be equal length and parallel to the ground at either ride height or half stroke. Also at ride height or half stroke the bell crank should be slightly kicked over.

Bell crank?

the peice in the center of the axle that the bars attach too. there is accually a really good article in sport truck this month by max fish about link setups ect. and it covers watts links. It has a bunch of pics of how it should look and everything.

my 05 dodge durango has a watts link with a four link setup and it makes for a nice ride
