Im building a 86 chevy suburban. Drivetrain is chevy bigblock,4l80e 2wd, M37 divorced transfer case, and 2 1/2ton rockwells. I would like to make it so drive shafts and suspension links are compatable front to back. I will be using train air bags for springs. Steering will be regular link with hydro ram assist. Street driving,towing,and off road will be the uses. I figure a triangulated 4 link would be best for the rear. Would a triangulated 4 link work for the front steering axle? Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks for helping.

Scroll down about 1/3 of the page on the last link. They cover some good suspension geometry there.


Dont have any first hand info for you. But, try reading through some of this... The info you want might be there.

Good luck
