Maybe its just me, but if we are going to actually do this thread, some actual link numbers and maybe a screenshot of your link calculator final version would be sweet. I know they tried to get one of these threads going in the Tacoma section, but it kind of fizzled out after only a few people posted their stuff.

Link stuff is one of those times where a picture doesn't paint "the whole picture".

This thread is point less just search 4 link and start clicking on builds. PM people that you have a common truck with and direction of build. This is just one more thread when I search 4 link in the title that will come up and have no useful information.

WTF is a link calculator ??????????????????????

i cut the back end off--- set the axle where i wanted it-- built the 4 link to fit ! what more is there ??????

started with the axle placement--- built the rear cab crossmember-- set the link mounts--- welded the truss and mounts on the rear end--- measured and cut the Cromo tube for the links. built a cage to fit the rear end and thru/into the cab with full inside cage--- welded mounts for the air shocks---- cut stainless mesh and cromo panels for the sides---- built a stainless resonator to fit between the links at full drop (if that could happen)-- made a couple quick-release pin mounts for the mud flaps (for street use-- street legal)-- took 1 NAPA mud flap and cut it in 1/2----

this is a 'built' rig and not a 'cookie-cutter' design that a geek on a computer built !

'link calculater'---- is that like a tape measure and a frameing square mixed with a BIT of common sense ????

will have to admit tho--with the 'full' doors on and not the 1/2----(lift off doors)-- the window knob is too close to the 'a' pillar down bar !---OOPS

and EVERYTHING is 'hard mounted'/ with 'captive' poly motor mounts) so i do get a bit of noise in the cab--- but thats what the radio is for !

So you just blasted it all together without thinking about measuring then?

Thats all a link calculator really does, its just a way to organize it and do some of the calculations for you like anti squat and roll center and such. Knowing that stuff doesn't make it a cookie cutter or "designed on a computer", and its a good way for people to reference what works for others. You still have to make it fit on your rig.

So yes....a link calculator is taking a framing square and a tape measure and writing it on your computer rather then a note pad. Common sense not included.

Experience counts more then anything though, and I'm sure you stuff works awesome Krusty. Wasn't trying to dig at you, it is just a reference point that people can compare with.

I think thats the best way to describe calc. Good job.
I'd add, it's a tool that allows you to visualize what you're about to build or what you ended up building.

There was one in here as well. Kinda pointless IMHO, to many variables to be consistant. My front 3 link when built was good as far as numbers go but didnt work quiet right. Fast forward a bit and I eye balled it, redid the lowers and it works properly with no odd quirks that it had before. The calculator is good for flat ground no's.

Did you miss the part of if you had done a search there are threads out there with the type of info you are looking for.:shaking:

 

[Symon623]

I'm out, mines only a 3 link... :shaking:

 

[Ghetto Fab.]

Too bad for you, shoulda gone 4link. 4 is allways better than 3.

Ever think that if someone made a thread like this that there wouldn't be so many dumb fuck questions? Haha
