ok guys

i wan to build another rig what should i do it going to be coils. the set up that i have nowin the rear is a 3link (traction bars and wish bone) and the front (two track bars with a panhard bar) front works ok and the rear twists up like a mad bitch. but would like to do some thing different like four like front and rear what you think good idea. would the four link be stronger then what i have now.would it not twist up as much.

thanks Dan :massey:

4 link the rear and keep the front the same danny boy:smokin: But, if the setup you have now works that good just do the same for the new rig. How are you planning on doing the 4-link in front? I would but space constraints wont let me. I think I am gonna just do the two links like ford radius arms and the warn coil kit for the front. Isn't that what you have now. Are you plannin on using those john deer heims? If you can figure out a way to do a 4-link in the front do it!

Well I know it isn't a zuki, but it does answer your question. I am currently running a 4 link and unless you get really heavy duty heim joints and space to put those V links, I'd stick with a panhard. Actually I see no real advantage to a 4 link over a 3 link. I personally like a 3 link because I believe it to control lateral axle movement better. I am going to build a panhard for my set up and ditch the V links. Cost me less than upgrading to heavier heim joints and I trust bushings over heim joints any day. Break one of those V links and you're done for and the chances of breaking a V link are waaaaay greater than breaking a panhard! Good luck either way.

i like the triangulate 4 link desertoy has. looks like there is almost no rear steer. havn't seen it besides pics but it defiantly worth looking into. as long as your going to be building another rig why not try something new? as opposed to just making an identical copy of what you already have.... :D
