Those pictures are terrible but the excuse about bear hunting makes it all good!

Im leaning towards making the rear 4 link, so if anyone has any tutorials or threads that can assist that would be of a great help.

Ive got a fair amount of info already but i just need advice from people who have done it. I wont be running bags, just rear coilovers.

Iv recently come across this thread, and it looks like coilovers have just had mounts fabbed up so they can be bolted in between the axle and frame. This seems WAY too easy, please tell me theres more behind it.

those in the pics aren't coilovers. I mean not sure how low you want to go with out bags?

At the bottom of the page he shows hes installing coils, and on page 2 shows them all mounted from axle to frame.

Just even with the front really but still able to use the truck as a truck.

those are springs i must have missed the coilovers. but what i saw weren't coil overs.... for sure

Quote from the OP on page 2 before he shows pictures of them installed.



Can anyone shed any light on if its this simple? If i can get away with this and not 4 linking everything then ill be happy.

bagging seems better long term just my opinion

So for the time being i will be removing some leafs from the pack, not a mono leaf setup but just a few less.

Anyway i just need to know the size of the bolt that holds the pack together? Ill get some new ones as mine look fairly rotten.

Please help guys, need the info asap.

Right guys, today i got around to sorting out the rear suspension.

So i thought id take a few out of the pack and place a overload leaf ontop. But mono leafing didnt really sit well with me so i thought id leave another leaf in the pack.

While removing the leafs i found it had 7 in total, so i removed 4 and placed the larger overload leaf on the top.

I ended up with this.

My mates thought it was awesome, but id rather be safe so tomorrow in putting a leaf back in the pack to help raise it up slightly and reduce the flex in the leafs.

Why has this done this though? i left a leaf in the pack more than a mono leaf setup but it looks like its dropped so much more.
