so I was working on the rear suspension setup on my courier I have to lower bars for my a ride and only one up for that goes from the middle of the rear end to the frame I wanted an opinion on if there would be enough my rear end does roll forward when the truck is laid out but I'be seen some like that and figured it was okay everything is solid and welded up I just want to make sure for security reasons that it's not going to break on me of any was going to suggest friends on adding strength to it to make sure nothing breaks or if that setup will works just fine

Man that was hard to read all as one sentence but I think I understand what you are saying. So you have 2 links on the bottom, and one link on top?

Can you post a pic from top and one from the side? If you are doing what I'm thinking, then yes it's ok but I'm not sure what you mean by your rear end rolling forward. When your suspension cycles, your rear end won't stay in the same spot relative to your frame but if you don't have your links set up right it can move excessively.

I will get a picture on here soon. but the help clarify my lower bars go from the axle to the frame. My upper a bar goes from the middle of the pumpkin to the frame so when the truck is at ride height everything is straight when you lay down on the ground the rear end roll up a little bit the drive shaft rolls up a little bit I just want to know if that was okay

I have the two lower bars run from the stock shackles to the axel. my upper runs front the top of the axel to the rear of the frame I wanted to know what you guys thought if that it will be okay with that setup or if I need to do some more work. it's pritty solid but I just don't want shit breaking the first time I have it out thanks again guys for your help

I'm thinking your lower bars that run with your frame are too short. Iv always seen the pivot point directly under the axel. I could be wrong. Do a top view of the rear end. You'll get a better response from people. Pictures do justice on this site

Yeah, I agree with vajr, without pictures and not being there its hard to give good input.

I know it looks like a mess because I havnet cleaned up and welds or anything yet just look past that I am looking at mounting shocks behind the rear end but I wanted to knoww if I needed to ad d any more links on the strengthen it played out the yoke tilts up but at ride height it is perfectly straight is that helps with explaining anything.

Your top bar is facing the wrong direction, thats what us making the yoke tilt it is making everything roll because its trying to mave two different directions if you get what im saying. I would probably run a wishbone up top though since you still have your gas tank up front, the wishbone if done correctly will keep the rearend from moving side to side as well as keeping your pinion from rolling.
