well i was thinking of just doing a triangulated four link while keeping the bags on the lower bars. both fuel tanks are long gone and the bed already has a gaping hole in it so space isn't really an issue. i see a lot of guys on here seem to be running a two link with a pan hard bar as well. i've thought about going this route also but my lower link bar bushings are shot and the arms arn't nearly as long as i'd like. just curious to see how other guys did their set up. also i'm looking for some ideas on where/how to redo the rear shock situation as well.

heres a few pics of mine...just a simple canti 2 link...im not running a panhard bar either...i had one on it and was getting a ton of side ways pull at full lift....getting less than 1/4 inch s2s without one....having it welded solid and a good front bushing will keep it pretty still....my front bushing is actually a front leaf spring bushing outta a 2002 silverado....along with the front hanger outta same truck....also shocks are mounted front link bar to side of notch....simple and bulletproof for what i need

Notta Big Fan Of The Slammed Trucks But I Can Appreciate the Work Required To Make a Good One... But That's Off the Subject... Where at in Iowa (I may have Missed it) Would ya be Located

come get some. your set up is almost identical to what i have now, minus how the shocks are mounted. i've cycled the system up and down a bunch of times and mine doesn't get a ton of side to side action either. i was just thinking of all the pinion angle change that happens. but i'm in the same boat as you, i don't need to make it do crazy side to side and what not, just up and down.

@cowboy
i'm in oxford ia, it's about 15-20 miles west of iowa city and coralvile. lived in the area my whole life. had to get out of iowa city pronto, we couldn't stand all of the college students and house partys. now we live in a town of 700 and people ride everything from their horse to their riding lawnmower down to the bars.

I'm From a Small Town 726..... In Northeastern NE...... Beemer, NE.. I Ironically I know Exactly Where ya are..... I have Relatives From Vinton, Ia and they kids from that family have moved to that area LOL as for the Horse's and Lawn Tractors to the Bar..... Been there Done that and Know guys who've gotten DUI's on BOTH lol

Yeah vinton has an awesome car cruise every year. Last year there was probably 200-300 cars in it.

mine doesnt get alot of pinion change because my link bars are fairly long....my bag mounts are actually right about where the stock front hangers were.....my hangers are moved forward atleast a foot is why i get less pinion angle change...and my truck gets a ton of lift in the rear....not so much in the front

yeah the two link on mine they just used the front sping hangers. the bars aren't terribly long. is anyone running a wishbone set up (3 link)? still looking for some pictures for ideas

Ever Heard Of "The Last Fling Till Spring" Car Show.... That's bout 8 miles from my place not many Trucks But 5-600 Cars

well still picking away at the wiring on this thing, got the e.d.c brackets straigtened out so i won't have to worry about it chewing up belts like the previous owner did. well i know how everyone loves pictures, so i'll leave you with a few of my motorcycle that i built from a cardboard box of parts, my current chopper project and some of the wifes jeep.
