Hi guys,

Just got back from Iraq, now its time to build me something to go and enjoy myself in, we are trying to introduce a KOH style event to the UK, although there will be far more mud to contend with....
I have got myself a 79 blazer, i will be scrapping the body as its not very good, so will be building a tube body for it, what i`m looking for is advise on the suspension, i will be converting to coils, would like a 4 link set up etc.

I realise that to calculate the 4 link i have to know the weight of it finished, this i cant do as i dont have the weighing facilities, but i`m sure my friends across the pond will know this, ie the chassis with engine gearbox etc, also maybe one with the tube body as well.

also some pictures would be great, thanks in advance.

My buggy weighs 4000 lbs. and my writeup on my 4 link is here (http://www.4x4mecca.com/forum/4x4-tech-talk/4427-designing-4-link-suspension.html).
